Greetings!
I majored in Architecture and environmental studies, and I've been working in urban development and informal education for 7 years. My mother tongue is Arabic, and I speak English equally well. I've also had a lot of practice translating between both languages during my work which often required me to write and edit articles in both languages.
I find these kinds of jobs very relaxing and enjoyable for me, and I hope I can be of help to you.
Don't hesitate to reach out!

I have been translating for 25 years and am as passionate about it now as I was the day I started. My translations are revised by my translation partner before delivery. I produce texts that are clear, idiomatic and sensitive to the tone and style of the source text. I am a certified member of the Québec order of translators (OTTIAQ).
My areas of expertise include health, education (textbooks and teaching tools), immigration and heritage. I also translate exhibition texts for a number of Canadian history and fine arts museums.
In the last 10 years, I have honed my editing skills and am called on regularly by publishers, museums and government ministries to edit final texts before publication.
אני עורכת תזות, הצעות מחקר ומאמרים מחקריים באנגלית. אני גם מתרגמת מסמכים אקדמיים ואחרים מעברית לאנגלית ומאנגלית לעברית. בעלת ניסיון בעריכת ביבליוגרפיות והפניות לפי שיטות APA, שיקגו, SBL ו-Bluebook.
I'm Kris Thielemans, a bilingual translator with more than 20 years experience translating, localising, editing, and writing in English and Dutch (Flemish). Due to my background as an MA in philosophy and art history, I've specialised in the translation of academic work in the humanities and social sciences. I’ve also enjoyed writing and translating for artists and art projects, and about games and gaming. My favourite literary genres are fantasy and science fiction.
