Personal details

Dutch (The Netherlands) is my mother tongue. I pretend to be fluent in English, proficient in German and French, and I have developed advanced reading skills in Afrikaans, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Spanish and Thai. Besides, I have profound knowledge of the specific vocabulary and syntax used in Flemish (Dutch Belgium / Belgian Dutch).

Pairs (language combinations)

Although my mother tongue is Dutch, I have more experience in translating into English. I personally do more than fifteen language combinations of which eleven on a daily or at least weekly basis:

Although I am not a certified translator, agencies I work for appreciate and certify - and embassies legalise - my translations.

Background

My flair for languages seems rooted in my family, with four other (semi-)professional translators and two literary writers. I am a (yet) unpublished writer of both poetry and prose.

Work experience (selected)

In 2003, I started a new career as a professional, full‑time, freelance, multilingual translator. I work for a dozen translation offices in Asia, as well as for about fifteen in Europe, North-America and South-Africa.

Prior work experience includes positions in The Netherlands, South America, Africa and Asia, in sales, finance, administration, management and language education at SME’s as well as for the local government. Besides, I have been a self-employed part-time art dealer for ten years.
