Years ago I studied translation in Gent. Languages were my first love.When I finished my studies, I tried to find a job in atranslation agency, but, as if by chance, I started workingwith the Flemish authorities. There, I enjoyedfreshening up stuffy texts and correcting my bosses’spelling. For a while I was a communications officerand later on I was responsible for all hydrographicpublications.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 everyday was heaven for me.But translation kept beckoning, so I started translatingvoluntarily for Médicins du Monde, the Museum forFine Arts, OrientaEuro…And now the time has come to return to my first love.I am ready!
