Bio
I have predominantly worked within import and export, especially within the field of international interior decoration and design as a multilingual administrator speaking, translating and writing Dutch and French in particular. My oral and written language skills were, other than dealing with customers, employed during international marketing and advertising projects and exhibitions and shows in Europe, when I was asked to be the interpreter.
I was born in the UK but brought up in the Netherlands and went to Dutch schools, obtaining a Dutch leaving certificate. I therefore consider myself bilingual Dutch and English. MA Translation Services, my freelance business, offers translation from Dutch and French to English up to 10,000 words per week or proofreading up to 10,000 words per week. My specialization fields are import/export, interiors, design, art, art history, which I studied at university, commercial, business translation from French and Spanish to English, for which I have gained certificates, marketing, media, banking and finance translation. I have a certificate in interior decoration & design, which is a personal interest.
I treat my work seriously and concentrate on my work thoroughly to produce a professional result. I communicate by the email address above. The equipment I use is a Dell PC, Windows Microsoft Office Vista 2007, broadband internet, and a Canon laser printer.
