of procedures as well as assessments of internal auditing.
Through this work she has, in addition to developing her professional
skills, gained a thorough understanding of the Norwegian public
sector and its language.
She has
been teaching English in Madrid, and also taught Norwegian
in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Her mother is English and her father
is Norwegian, thus providing her with a bilingual upbringing.
As a specialist translator she has concentrated on economic
analysis and reports, as well as on commercial contracts.
