Transcriber | Creative Writer | Datacapturer | Afrikaans Translator

Good Day, Thank you for taking the time to view my introduction. I’m Karen 37 year old bilingual South African, (fluent in Afrikaans and English), and I’ve always had a passion for words. I love expressing myself in more than just a plain sentence. From my school going days, I have loved creative writing and creating a different universe of reality on paper. I express myself better in the written word than person to person. Researching is also a means to me where I can enrich my knowledge of all things around me. With Google at my fingertips, it's much easier than the old-school method of hitting the library and going through the encyclopedia (But that was still the best method of adding more information into my overcrowded imagination brain). If a topic fascinates me, it will keep my brain actively running until I put pen to paper. I might not have any formal after-school training and degrees in writing, but I have knowledge of the English language and I’m very meticulous in what I do. Even though I’m only a Preschool Teacher -I believe we have the best imaginations and passion for words as that is the way I teach children to love books and stories – the ultimate way to improve and enrich their vocabulary. Before completing my studies in Education I worked in the Google Marketing and SEO field for just over 2years, I was Goggle certified in 2016 (unfortunately I have to re-done the course). I have worked on Loft 2.0 transcribed Afrikaans audio. My work ethic includes having an open line of communication, honesty, and being reliable. As previously mentioned I am very meticulous in the final product I deliver. I am open to criticism – someone else’s opinion or view can only be beneficial to me and the result. If what you have read sounds appealing, please do not hesitate to invite me for an interview to discuss your writing needs.
