Freelance translator English to Dutch and Dutch to English
I moved from the Netherlands to the US in 1994 and started translating in 2008. I became a member of proz.com, one of the largest websites where demand and supply for translation in all languages meet, and started to answer translation questions, earn points, and after some time made it to the first page in the language directory.
I look to understand the context of information in order to get the right message across. It takes courage and creativity to step away from a literal translation and come up with how something is best expressed in my native or in the target language.
I have an interest in a wide range of topics, an eagerness to familiarize myself with new information, and a 'scoping' attitude, and generally handle a wide variety of topics, including nutrition, agriculture, technology, architecture and history.
With a background in organizational pscyhology, I specialize in texts on management and Human Resources.
My main fields are:
- organizational psychology (management, Human Resources)
- general technology
- general medicine
- photography/design
