Kamila Trojnar
@kamilatrojnar
Experienced translator and localiser with a passion for language.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated translator and localiser with over a decade of experience in the field. I have successfully owned and operated two businesses that specialize in translation, reviewing, and training services. My journey began in 2014 with Excellent English, where I honed my skills in translation and teaching, helping students develop their language abilities in various settings.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with numerous organizations, including GoodHabitz and SGH Warsaw School of Economics, translating a wide range of content from academic articles to marketing materials. My commitment to quality and attention to detail have allowed me to thrive in multinational environments, where I work closely with teams to deliver exceptional results. I am passionate about creative localisation and transcreation, ensuring that the essence of the original content is preserved while making it resonate with the target audience.
