I’m a Norwegian to English translator and writer based in Stavanger, Norway.
Originally from a small mining community in the north of England, I hold a BA(Hons) in English Language and Literature from the University of Oxford and an MA in Film Studies from University College London. My translation of Klara Hveberg’s Lean Your Loneliness Slowly Against Mine was longlisted for the PEN America Translation Prize 2022. In 2017 I was awarded a National Centre for Writing Emerging Translator Mentorship, through which I was mentored by translator Kari Dickson.
I have ten years of experience as a freelance commercial translator, copywriter and editor, and have translated a broad range of literary texts across fiction and non-fiction for both adults and children.
