My name is Nina Brevik, and I’m a Norwegian‑born translator and editor with a BA in Technical Translation from the University of Agder in Norway and the University of Surrey in the UK. I founded LinguaLab in 2005 after working as a translator and project manager in a British translation agency, and I’ve been working independently ever since.
I’ve lived in England for more than twenty years and work bilingually across English and Norwegian. My published work includes academic articles, book translations and other projects listed below.
When I’m not working, I’m writing a historical novel trilogy, dog‑sitting, belting 80s music at home, or singing classical repertoire with my choir.
