About us
Based on professionalism and passion for quality literature, Word Experts focus on your literary work.
As a trained teacher with two degrees in German Language Studies and Educational Science, I have had the pleasure to work at various schools in Germany and have provided private language tuition for every age group for 20 years. During my teaching employment I developed a “German as a Second Language” theater concept which was implemented as an inherent part of the school’s curriculum. When I moved to Norway in 2014, I decided to expand my field and founded my own company, offering translation services from English to German as well as proofreading and editing. My experience ranges from novels, guidebooks and magazines to websites, online shops, business plans and SEO articles.

After successfully completing my Master’s degree in German Language Studies and Sociology, I worked for the publishing company Random House – the largest of its kind in Germany – in its national as well as global licensing departments. After spending some time abroad, I felt it was time for a career change. I decided to increase my professional independence and put my language and literature skill set to good use. I have since been working as an independent editor and translator with a broad portfolio consisting of, inter alia, English to German translations, editing and proofreading of belletristic literature, magazines, websites and scientific work.
