Bio

I am a London-based conference interpreter and translator, working from English and Polish into German. My profession is more than just a day job to me, and I feel energised when I can solve my clients’ communication headaches. I firmly believe that everyone should have the freedom to express themselves in a language they feel at home with. I find it deeply satisfying when I am able to get a client's written or spoken message across to their target audience.

With a track record of over 15 years in the language industry, I am knowledgeable and well-networked. Working in an international environment also means that I remain curious and up to date with current affairs.

Freelancing allows me to work on a variety of stimulating projects. I am always open to new challenges and collaborations. My experience and services include:

• Conference interpreting (I am trained and experienced in both, the simultaneous and consecutive modes)
• Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (fully equipped home office and familiarity with most platforms)
• Business interpreting (e.g. factory visits, training sessions)
• Public service interpreting (in legal, medical and mental health settings)
• Translation (press releases, travel and tourism, social media content)

I have also been involved in (and enjoyed) more unusual linguistic challenges, such as interpreting at a series of solo performances by a visual and performance artist, interviewing Polish gamers about their gaming habits in their homes, and interpreting remotely from my living room during a chefs' congress taking place on the other side of the globe.
