First aid for text
Do you need English text, editing work or a translation from Dutch into English? That’s what I do. I’m a copywriter, content creator and Dutch to English translator with an eye for detail and an eagerness for authenticity.

Are you looking for effective and authentic online content, marketing material or internal communications?

Editing & Proofreading
Sometimes you need a fresh take on your work. I look at your article, story or online content with a critical eye. I’m also a wizard at simplifying and getting to the core of the message.

Translation
First aid for text provides more than an automated translation of your text. I translate with an eye for detail and a sense of style.

About me
Helen Hartmann
I’m a British/Dutch national with an international perspective. I grew up as a third culture child in Hong Kong and Germany and later collected international professional experience in The Netherlands and Japan.
My work experience is in the cultural, diplomatic, oil & gas and educational sectors. In these companies and organisations, I enjoyed a professional and social network in The Hague which I still benefit from today.
I live in Scheveningen with my family, very close to the beach where I swim in the North sea daily. Another favourite way to spend my time is visiting the beautiful Kunstmuseum around the corner.
Contact me if you are looking for a native speaker with a flexible attitude and communications professional with attention to detail, curiosity and empathy.
