Jana van der Kolk, M.A.

My work blends pedagogical science, visual storytelling, and global communication, shaped by two decades of studying and living across the world. My path has taken me to five continents — teaching, translating, and learning along the way. I have managed the production of numerous multilingual projects, specializing in translating technical complexity into user-friendly narratives and science-backed learning solutions. My original publications include experimental research in linguistics as well as creative nonfiction, and I am a practicing painter. I grew up in Washington, D.C. and currently reside in Lisbon.
