What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values linguistic skills and offers growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated language specialist with over 20 years of experience in the executive office industry. My journey has equipped me with a strong command of Afrikaans, Dutch, and English, allowing me to excel as a freelance transcriber, QA, and editor. I have worked with various companies, including WeLocalize, where I transcribe diverse audio and video content with precision and confidentiality.

In 2024, I expanded my skill set by completing a Data Analyst project for Telus International, analyzing Google Maps. Currently, I serve as a Medical Proofreader for ADHD Centre in London, where I support 35 consultants by proofreading medical documentation and managing patient bookings. My versatile background has exposed me to various administrative and business aspects, enhancing my ability to support global clients effectively.
