Years ago I studied translation in Gent. Languages were my first love.When I finished my studies, I tried to find a job in a translationagency, but, as if by chance, I started working with the Flemishauthorities. There, I enjoyed freshening up stuffy texts andcorrecting my bosses’ spelling. For a while I was a communi-cations officer and later on I was responsible for all hydrographic publications.My love for languages was not completely satisfied…I changed jobs and started working as a Dutch languageinstructor for VDAB. To be occupied with language every daywas heaven for me.But translation kept beckoning, so I started translatingvoluntarily for Médicins du Monde, the Museum for Fine Arts,OrientaEuro…And now the time has come to return to my first love.I am ready!
