To whom it may concern

I am a native English speaker and am fluent in Afrikaans, Dutch, and Flemish. I've recently worked on translating travel brochures from English to Afrikaans for a client in the UK, and news content for the Dutch newspaper "De Telegraaf" from Dutch to English, on an ongoing basis. I also regularly translate and add subtitling on Dutch and Flemish television programs into English.

I’ve been working remotely for a variety of local and international organisations, as an academic coach, social research consultant, academic/scientific writer, nonfiction ghostwriter (on any topic), web content writer (on any topic), SEO writer & editor, professional proofreader, and editor, subject matter specialist (social science and humanities), and translator English—Dutch—Afrikaans—Flemish. I have a social science/humanities master's degree, with a specialization in Development Economics.

Additionally, I am currently a regular contributor to social scientific/humanities academic journals, both as a writer and as a reviewer of articles to promote rigour in subject matter content on law (constitutional), health, education, economics, history, philosophy, cultural studies, and sociology. I furthermore am a professional editor in English and Afrikaans on article submissions and provide technical assistance with aspects such as formatting, citation, and referencing, using a variety of styles including APA, Harvard, and Chicago.
