Bio

Although my
education has always had a focus on scientific and technical subjects, I also
always have had an affinity with language. Therefore, I attended a gymnasium
where besides mathematics, physics and chemistry we were taught Latin and Greek
as well as the modern languages English, German and French (and my native
language Dutch).

At the
university I studied astronomy which is a very international study with many classes
and books in English, while we were taught by English-speaking professors from
all over the world. 

Twice during
my student time, I worked for several months in the USA at a summer camp,
practicing the English language (besides doing my work).

During my
years of working for the major IT company Capgemini I regularly had projects in
other countries such as Belgium, Rumania, Norway, Austria and last but not
least England and Wales.

From 2007
till 2014 I lived and worked in Sweden. I worked for an IT-company where
everybody spoke Swedish (not English), so I quickly learned to speak the
language.

On holidays
I have always travelled abroad, often to English speaking countries like USA
and Canada.

Last but
not least, I have stayed in Kenya twice for the adoption of our 2 wonderful
kids. Both times we lived there for more than 7 months and as you probably
know, English is the main language of Kenya.

As you can see,
I have had a lot of experience with the English and Swedish language in my life.
I am more experienced in IT-related matters, but was always trained to be very
correct in language. This is not something I have to think about, but it comes
to me naturally. Needless to say, this applies to my native language, Dutch, as
well (probably even more).

I hope that
I have been able to explain why I am good in what I do and why.
