About me

I have mastered my language skills studying Applied Linguistics (German, English and Polish) with law specialization at the University of Warsaw. I have also completed an internship at the General Consulate of the Republic of Poland in Hamburg, Germany – as a trainee in the legal and cultural-scientific department. My education, however, never ended and I continuously extend my knowledge by participating in numerous training sessions and webinars for linguists (the details available upon request).

I started to work as a translator in 2007. I have also been working as a German-speaking consultant for Deutsche Telekom AG for three years.

Since 2011 I am a freelance translator and proofreader based in the United Kingdom, offering my services to translation agencies and direct clients regardless of their location.
