Melissa, Professional translator English (United States)

I am a native English speaker (American) and writer, with over fifteen years of experience proofreading sales and marketing documents and three years of experience writing promotional material for a scientific research center. Having lived in Belgium for over 10 years now, I have developed a love for the different cultures that surround me. I never stop trying to learn what I can, including the languages. So far, I can speak and write Dutch at a near-native level and can read and understand French and German with ease. Since January 2017, I have been offering my services full-time in a freelance capacity. I have mainly done my translation and proofreading work with another translation agency, TextMaster, as I had already been doing some part-time work through their site for several years. I began working with them after successfully completing translation and copywriting tests, and have gained a few loyal clients that now choose me as their preferred Translator. To date, I have translated, written, or proofread over 135,000 words in 371 completed tasks, for a total of 111 clients. I would love the opportunity to discuss working in a similar capacity for Blarlo.
