About me
- Hi there! My name is Floor van Dijck. I'm the smiling face (most days) behind Floors Taal & Tekst. As a certified native Dutch translator with a passion for creative writing, I love to play with languages. Quite literally, actually: our sizable board game collection would not be complete without some language-oriented additions.
- I have always had a tiny little translator inside of me, waiting to be let out. During my teen years I discovered the joys of translating song lyrics and Harry Potter books in my spare time. When the time had come to decide on my future career, the choice was not a very difficult one to make.
- After getting my cum laude translation degree from Zuyd University of Applied Sciences in Maastricht, I started putting my acquired skills into practice. First at a translation agency, and after that as an internal translator and copywriter for a cosmetics company. It didn't take long for me to discover I am not only a translator, but also a writer at heart. The more creative freedom, the better! The next chapter of my career, starting Floors Taal & Tekst and using my creativity and love for languages to help others tell their story, felt like the right step to make.
- Sustainability is at the top of my priority list as a professional and as an individual. I especially enjoy working with companies trying to lower their carbon footprint and I walk to work, so zero commute - one of the many advantages of working from home. 😉
Would you like to chat with me sometime, either virtually or face-to-face in the Eindhoven area?
