Specialization / Background
Professional bookworm, language lover and translation enthusiast. My native language is Dutch, and after much study and practise I consider myself near-native in English. I speak good Hebrew, but not yet good enough to translate from. I have learned Spanish, French and German in the past, but they have gone a bit rusty from lack of use... I enjoy reading and writing in several languages, and I have a good eye for detail and spelling.

I studied English Language and Literature, specialising in Translation, at Utrecht University. After my graduation in 2003, I emigrated to Israel where I now live with my husband and, more recently, two bilingual little boys. Because I live in Israel, I am available for translation work on Sundays and I can sometimes be more flexible in my rates.

My favourite work fields are tourism/travel, having worked as international kibbutz volunteer leader in Israel, and health care/cosmetics, having worked for several years in a health/cosmetics store in the Netherlands. More specific fields that I have extensive practical experience in are childcare, pregnancy and lactation, and equestrian sports.

I have done both translation and proofreading work. I have translated websites and texts, many manuals of consumer electronics and household appliances, children's books and more.
