I, Ruth Kristin Thu, born 1977 in Stavanger, Norway, am graduated as a two-way technical translator between Norwegian and English after having studied "Translation and Intercultural Communication - English", which is a three-years bachelor's degree at the University of Agder in Kristiansand.
As part of my degree I studied a variety of subjects in York in the UK in the academic year 2012/2013, including creative writing and sociolinguistics, as a student at York St John University. I ended the year in York with top grades and two congratulatory letters for my outstanding performances.
In 2011, I proof read, improved and edited the book "The search for the truth about Asperger Syndrome", a book written by Gustav Koi and released with the publisher Spiss Forlag in 2011. I also authored several sections of the texts in the book as well as coming up with ideas in the close cooperation I had with the author.

Over the years I have also contributed linguistically in many other ways, like through proof reading for the Norwegian Bible page Bibelsiden and creating newsletters for some church congregations. Furthermore, I am a teacher with additional teacher education and have a lot of work experiences, mostly being from the education sector and health sector.
I enjoy doing various types of language work and communicating through various outlets, like through my YouTube channel Ruth Kristin - Raw & Unpolished - Shining My Light and my writing. I love writing, for example stories and poems, and I've got my own poetry service in Norwegian called DIKT-DRYSSET, a gift service where packages of poems written by me are delicately and artisticly wrapped and sent in the post. I have different types of packages, and each of them has their own main topic, like love, summer, lines and authenticity. I'll publish various books in the future and will inform about them on my other professional website Forfatter Thu.
The Thu Language Service is an individual enterprise I run from my home in Stavanger. From this business I offer many different services and products which you can read about on this website.
I have a very good language memory, an eye for details and a great ability to work with an intense focus on the tasks I have decided to do. I am also known for being very creative, and I love being creative and create things in the now, and I keep on showing of my creativity and joy of creating on my YouTube channel.
I am committed and focused when working with my tasks, always aiming for the highest standards.
