Bio
My name is Melissa, and I'm passionate about translating. I'm native Dutch, currently living in the UK and travel to India a lot. Since some of my relatives do not speak English, I translated for them whenever they visited me. I have finished the 'Become a freelance translator' in-depth course from 'the Translator Academy and have experience working with the Smartcat tool. I am a fast learner. All of these skills, together with my experience in translating, will ensure you high-quality translations. 

Living in the UK has made my English language strong. I have a passion for India as a country and it's culture, philosophy and religion. This is one of my main areas of interest and expertise. I have 9 years of experience in the field of social, care and mental health work. Another big passion of mine is yoga, meditation and holistic health and well-being. The practice of Mindfulness and Yin Yoga are some of the specialisations I have. 

Here are some other passions and hobbies of mine, other fields I am very comfortable translating. Music, singing, travelling, the outdoors, walking and hiking, nature, forests, reading, spirituality, food, cooking, reading, human behaviour, wellness, Buddhism, Hinduism, Hindi and Spanish.
