About
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English Language and Culture from the University of Amsterdam (2021-2024), where I developed a strong foundation in language, literary analysis, and critical reading – alongside a sharp eye for nuance, tone, and clarity. My academic background informs my editorial approach, but my work is always guided by real-world readability and purpose.Professionally, I’ve worked within fast-paced, high-volume content environments. I completed an editorial internship at HelloFresh BENELUX from August to December 2024, before continuing on in a full-time editorial role from December 2024 to January 2025. In this role, I edited and refined customer-facing content under tight deadlines, collaborated within a large editorial team, and ensured consistency across brand voice, style guidelines, and quality standards.As a freelancer, I work across copy editing, proofreading, and content refinement, supporting teams who need reliable, detail-oriented editing without losing the original voice of the text. I’m especially drawn to projects where language needs to feel warm, accessible, and intentional, whether that’s recipe copy, marketing content, or long-form editorial work.My goal is always the same: to make the writing shine while keeping the author’s voice intact.On a personal note, I was born and raised in the United States, and also grew up living in Finland and Germany before moving to study in the Netherlands. My experiences living abroad gave me a lifelong curiosity about language, culture, and how people communicate across borders. This international perspective continues to inform my work, helping me approach text with sensitivity to tone, clarity, and audience.When I’m not editing, I’m usually reading, reorganizing my to-do lists, or convincing myself I don’t need another journal.
