About

I’m a German–Dutch translation and proofreading expert with five years of professional experience supporting multilingual content across legal, medical, technical, and corporate environments. I translate and localize complex materials while keeping terminology consistent, preserving tone and meaning, and ensuring linguistic quality across German and Dutch audiences.

I’m methodical and detail-oriented, with strong experience in CAT-tool workflows, linguistic QA, and structured review before delivery. Whether proofreading high-volume documents or managing terminology changes across versions, I focus on accuracy, formatting integrity, client requirements, and reliable turnarounds for demanding project schedules.
