In addition to being a qualified archeologist, I am also a trained editor specializing in the translation and copy-editing of archeological texts in both Dutch and English. Raised bilingually by an American mother and a Dutch father, I work fluently in both languages and handle both British and American English with equal ease and precision.
My work spans the full spectrum of academic and professional writing — from research papers and PhD theses to manuals, reports, and monographs — always with a focus on clarity, consistency, and publication-ready quality. Alongside editing, I also offer book layout and design services through Sidestone Press, allowing me to guide projects seamlessly from draft to final publication while combining academic precision with a strong visual eye. One of my books was even voted the Current Archaeology Book of the Year 2024.
In addition, I provide workshops in editing and thesis writing, helping researchers strengthen their academic writing skills and gain confidence in shaping their own work.
Whether you need a sharp editorial eye, a smooth translation, structured guidance through a workshop, or a fully prepared publication, I would be happy to help shape your work into its strongest possible form.
