Bio
Fully bilingual in Dutch and English, I started out in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, but moved on to construction and engineering working in sales and communications for an international wholesaler. In the course of my in-house career, I translated numerous machinery user manuals and material safety data sheets. Though Dutch and English are my main working languages, I speak three more languages and am working on learning a fourth (how else could I possibly feed my book addiction?).  Since going freelance in 2013, projects have included a 120-page magazine about injectables for a leading pharma supplier, a 160-page code of practice for classifying gas explosion hazard areas for a major global oil and gas company, extensive scientific reference documents for forensic psychological evaluation of perpetrators of sexual assault and domestic violence, and corona-related information and documentation for the Dutch government. Although I have translated a number of books, including travel journals, science fiction novels, and erotica, my current focus is on high-precision translation services for technical and medical companies.
