About me
I have been working as an independent language professional since 2019. Having previously worked for the Belgian government in a variety of roles, I combine a passion for languages with experience in business, IT and law. I work to a high professional standard, focusing on quality and customer satisfaction.
Projects
Over the course of my career, I have built up extensive experience in translating, editing and writing content on a broad range of subjects and for diverse target audiences.

Legal translation
I started my professional career as a litigation manager, briefing lawyers on legal actions and resolving disputes through judicial means. As my field of work (social security) touched on many aspects of business and society, I acquired practical knowledge of many branches of law, including commercial and corporate law, civil law, privacy law, tax law, employment law, European and international law.
