Nowadays I work as a Dutch editor, proofreader, translator and sometimes also voice over. I specialize in editing, proofreading, and crafting high-quality content in both Dutch and English. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of language structure, I help businesses, writers, and organizations refine their written materials and make a lasting impact. I like to pick a text apart and turn it into great Dutch and also localize it. A lot of translations are done by AI nowadays, but it is my strength to make it sound like it was done by a real native. In addition to my editing and proofreading work, I have also had the pleasure of writing a travel guide and contributing to travel blogs during my time living in Japan. My experience writing about diverse cultures and locations has further honed my ability to engage readers with well-crafted, informative, and captivating content. I am a creative storyteller and I have been told that when you read what I wrote it is like you are listening to a friend describing an awesome trip. That was an amazing compliment! With a Master’s degree in Law, years of running my own event planning company, and a background that spans the Netherlands, France, South Africa, Japan, the US, and now Switzerland, I bring a unique blend of expertise and creativity to every project. Whether it's perfecting your existing content or creating something entirely new, I’m here to help you communicate clearly, effectively, and with style. Let's collaborate and bring your ideas to life!Writing
