About me

Dear (potential) colleague,

Thank you for visiting my ‘ProZ’ profile. My short CV, also located on this profile page, will provide you with a summary of my nursing and pharmaceutical background (CV is available to ProZ members only; will send to others upon request).

Having worked a combination of 22 years in the highly regulated nursing and drug-surveillance environments, in both the United States and in The Netherlands, I’ve developed a keen sense of detail, quality and accuracy.

My translation efforts have been subject to inspections by regulatory authorities (EMEA, FDA, and The Netherlands) on more than one occasion over few the past years. This type of vigilant working environment understandably stimulates the development of accurate and excellent communication skills, as well as an ever-present sense of confidentiality.

Equally important to high-quality work, however, is the enjoyment I derive from translating the written word, both medical and general in nature. In fact, I started officially freelancing at the request of a couple of former colleagues working in the pharmaceutical industry.

Please find below a selection of some of the types of documents I’ve translated and/or proofread. Given that most of these assignments fall under a non-disclosure agreement of some kind, I am not able to divulge real names of clients or documents. This list is therefore anonymised. I am looking forward to making your acquaintance.
