Areas of specialty

European and international affairs

As I was academically trained for these, I translate texts related to European and international institutions and organisations. To these two subjects I add politics, in a more global sense.

Legal texts

In addition to my training to offer services in Belgian criminal and civil law, I have experience working with texts about human rights and European law.

Marketing

Linked to transcreation, this area allows for greater adaptation corresponding to the needs of the target audience.

Travel - Tourism

Since I am passionate about the discovery of new cities, cultures and cuisines, I will gadly translate your documents (mainly about Europe).

Culture - Arts

Thanks to my Bachelor’s degree in that area, I am deeply interested in the arts, the cultures and the civilisations of English- and German-speaking countries.

Sociology

Curious about the world and advocating for tolerance, societal issues (about gender, sexual orientations, etc.) move me.
