Bio
A true Scot. Born in Glasgow. Studied French and Italian at Glasgow University. Spent one year teaching in a French school and one year studying in Italy. Moved to Norway in 1991 and live just south of Bergen. Married into a family of boat builders and we live on the coast so spend a lot of time on the water. Have taken a "captain's certificate" for boats over 15 m in length, including navigation, ship mechanics, shipping regulations and a one-week safety course which qualifies me to work offshore. Work experience includes 2 years working for a French investment bank in London (during which time I sat and passed the general registered representative exam), long-term involvement in my father's publishing firm where I have gained in-depth knowledge of printing and publishing. Initally worked as an English language instructor for Berlitz when I moved to Norway, then moved over to translations once my Norwegian was strong enough. Work as freelancer for a number of Norwegian and European agencies and have a number of direct customers, both locally and throughout Norway. Run a local theatre group - two performances every year.
Keywords: Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, very experienced, focus on high quality, precision, in-depth research to identify correct terminology
