About me

Knowing a foreign language is like making a trip. You don't only speak and understand a language, you live it. So knowing a foreign language is knowing its culture, its traditions, its roots.
That's why working with a translator who has a first hand experience of living in all countries of his/her working languages is an advantage.
Because translation goes beyond words. Translation is conveying of the entire message, including its implicit meanings.

I have lived in all countries of my working languages and can therefore state that I have a deep understanding of my working languages and the culture linked to them.

I have an economical/legal/political background (degree in Political Sciences) combined with a MA acquired in the UK in Interpreting and TRanslating and experience as a conference interpreter working for the EU.

Nowadays I work as a freelance translator and language tutor teaching Italian and German in the Netherlands.

I translate through translation agencies among others for G-Star, Ferm BV, Gibson Europe, Philips, Wartsila, Fincantieri, Instrumentarium Imaging, Heineken Champions League.

What is my passion?
Easy: languages, travelling, different cultures, good food, running, yoga and African dancing.
