I was born in the Netherlands and got my education at an English elementary school in Venezuela, High School in the Netherlands, and university in Canada. From a very young age I have always had an interest in languages. In 1996, my first translation job came about by chance and I was hooked right away. I joined the translators organization in my province (ATIA) and two years later I wrote the national (CTTIC) certification exam. I am fluently bilingual but after many years living, studying, and working in Canada, I prefer to translate into English.
