Bio
"Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind" Rudyard Kipling
My passion for words has been the guideline in my life.
In my early twenties I trained as a translator/interpreter for three years, then I switched to social studies and after graduating as a social worker I moved from Belgium to Spain where I have been living ever since.
In Spain I have mainly worked as a translator, interpreter and language teacher.
At the moment I work full-time as a freelance translator.
I spend most of my time:
-Translating, copywriting and transcreating (NLBE/NLNL) for a major European online retailer. Products: fashion and beauty (weekly edits, campaign updates etc.)
-Transcreating and copywriting (NLBE/NLNL) for a major global advertising company, for the e-commerce of a big multinational. Products ranging from beauty and personal care to food and homecare.
-Translating/transcreating for a global consumer goods company that designs infant and toddler toys and products
-Translating/transcreating for a global manufacturer of solar equipment (marketing content)
I have a particular interest in creative marketing projects, literature, novels and copywriting.
