Bio

After I started out as a freelance translator in 2017 (English > Dutch), EU documents quickly became the principal part of my workload. I am familiar with the EU’s characteristic terminology, aware of the importance of consistency, and well acquainted with the relevant sources (e.g. EUR-Lex, CURIA, IATE).

Many European Union documents are written by non-native speakers of English. This can be a challenge, but I take pleasure in creating a stylistically pleasing Dutch version which is true to the spirit of the original.

Areas of expertise: European Union, European Commission, EU agencies (e.g. EU-OSHA, CdT, ECHA, Frontex)

Specialisatie: Europese Unie, EC, Europese agentschappen (bv. EU-OSHA, CdT, ECHA, Frontex)

As a copywriter for non-specialist readers (since 2002) I seek to write in a clear and engaging style, avoiding bureaucratese. I have covered a multitude of economic, political and social issues, ranging from the distribution of wealth to cultural policy and demographic decline.

Some of my books and essays:

Liberalisme en voorwaardenscheppend cultuurbeleid

Gelukspolitiek

Groeien naar vermogen
