Bio

Born in Belgium, Herentals. I grew up speaking Dutch natively.

My professional translation experience:
* translator for L`OREAL products (packaging & instructions for use),
* translator for several law firms and banks (translations of legal texts such as
judgements, decisions, contracts etc.),
* subtitling (especially cooking programs),
* translation of instructions for household appliances and personal electronics.


I moved to Norway in 2015 and have been working as a chef and guide ever since.
Food and traveling have been my greatest passion since childhood.
That is why I am particulary interested in translating guidebooks, visitor guides, travel and tourism websites, and in cookbook and recipe translations.
