I am a native Dutch and near-native English speaker with additional high-level language skills in both Italian and French. Apart from proofreading, editing and writing, I am also trained in translation (not certified for legal translations) and subtitling.
I am especially passionate about creative writing, not just for myself, but also for others. With a special interest in topics such as history, literary fiction, and mental health, I love to create compelling pieces and weave beautiful stories.
In my work, I like to combine my practical linguistic skills and knowledge about modern culture and literature.
My Masters in Multilingual Communications helped me gain a deep insight in English, Dutch and Italian while acquiring skills in translation on an academic level. My second Masters in Comparative Modern Literature focused on editing and proofreading of a wide range of texts.
Diving into a text and making it shine is what I love the most.

I have worked as a translator for the same company since 2015, and have always hit my deadlines without fault. I'm a translator that you can rely on, who is able to translate texts with very specialized terminology, who can be creative - which I believe is a very important skill for a translator, who can write text that flow as I'm also an author, and who can keep to the original text and the way it was written/spoken. Being able to take into account the context in which something was written or spoken I also think is a very important skill for a translator that I do possess based on my long experience as a translator since 2015.
