Bio

Working as a
linguist requires a very specific set of skills, these skills include the
ability to analyse and correctly interpret the client's brief, very strong
language skills in order to provide a translation, localization or
proofreading task that is of the highest standard, a meticulous eye for
detail, and the ability to work efficiently in order to meet deadlines. These
are skills that I have honed during years working as a freelance linguist and
further improved by obtaining my Master’s Degree in Language Practice.


My experience includes translating and proofreading a variety of texts from
English to Afrikaans including academic, corporate and technical texts
comprising of IT related texts as well as medical texts. I believe that while
it is possible to become an expert in a certain field, a person should never
stop learning and always strive to be better.

I am a member of the
Professional Editors’ Guild.
