Extensive experience in the fields of medicine and pharmaceuticals

In addition to my career as a translator, I worked for more than 20 years as a BIG-registered nurse, specializing in such areas as oncology, clinical scientific research, gynaecology and acute care. I have been a very active member of the board of the employee participation body of one of my former employers. Because of my extensive work experience in the medical/pharmaceutical fields and knowledge of the associated terminology, I was very often assigned to work on medical and pharmaceutical texts, from the beginning of my career as a professional translator. As an experienced medical translator, I always look for the perfect interpretation in the target language, whether for patient records, the documents required for clinical scientific research, package inserts, research reports or educational materials for healthcare professionals.

Sworn translator and professional depth in legal translation

Over the years, prompted by personal interest in jurisprudence, I have studied extensively to become professionally specialized in legal translation, taking in-depth courses in such fields as notarial translation, civil law, patent law, criminal law and criminal procedural law. I did that both in the Netherlands (SIGV, ITV-H, KTV, OCPE) and in Spain (Universidad de Salamanca). As a sworn translator, I keep my specializations and registration up to date and out of professional as well as personal interest, I regularly invest in educational activities for continuing education, both in the Netherlands and abroad.
