I have been a certified Dutch-English and English-Dutch translator since 2005. My aim is to reproduce the meaning and style of the original text while keeping in mind the target audience and the client's wishes.
In addition, I have twenty years' experience as an executive secretary/PA, including six as a PA in England, which means that I have excellent translation as well as editing skills in Dutch and English.
