What I'm looking for

I seek translation/interpretation roles where I can apply multilingual expertise, work with legal and technical texts, use CAT tools, and contribute to high-quality, confidential projects.

I am a seasoned translator-interpreter with a PhD-level background in Translation Studies and over a decade of professional experience translating legal, business, educational and technical documents across English, Polish, German, Russian and Ukrainian.

I have worked with translation agencies from 2010 to 2025, producing accurate, culturally appropriate translations, performing simultaneous and consecutive interpretation, and managing confidential official documents such as certificates, contracts and diplomas while adhering to strict formatting and legal standards.

I bring strong research, CAT-tool and translation-memory experience, excellent linguistic competence across multiple language pairs, and a professional, client-focused approach to meet deadlines, maintain quality standards, and solve terminology challenges.
