Language unites people and builds bridges between cultures.

About me - Kitty Van Daele

Early on, I discovered my passion for languages and translation, especcialy concerning the English language. During my time at the University of Antwerp, that passion only grew expanding to a new love for my own native language, Dutch, and the beautiful Spanish language. I am a very curious person and languages are the perfect way to get a taste from different cultures. After obtaining my master’s degree in translation, I quickly missed the ‘studying vibe’. I don’t like stagnation, therefore I want to keep improving myself. I have since become a sworn in legal translator and I have finished a course in the preparation of manuscripts for print.
