Bio

I am native in Polish. I hold MA degree in English language and literature from the University of Silesia in Poland. I have always been passionate about the English language. Both of my university theses were Polish-English comparative studies.

As a student I traveled numerous times to England and Scotland where my adventure with translation and interpretation first started. For six years I worked as a private English language tutor in Poland and during my graduate studies as a full time English language teacher both in Jan Kiepura Elementary School Nr 46 in Sosnowiec as well as the “Lifelong Learning Center“- CKU in Mysłowice. During my teaching career at Jan Kiepura Elementary School, I also worked as the school principal’s personal interpreter. In 2000 I participated in the conference of European School Clubs organized in Budapest, Hungary, working as an interpreter and translator. For two years during my graduate studies, I also held a part-time position at the British Council in Katowice, supporting both Polish and British supervising examiners during Cambridge ESOL examinations.

After graduating from the university, I moved to the USA. I continued my teaching career at an English language school in Chicago, the English Center. In the meantime, I studied Business English and Computerized Office Support at BIR Training Center in Chicago. In 2005 I joined a team of freelance translators and interpreters at Cross-Cultural Interpreting Services, a social enterprise of Heartland Alliance for Human Needs & Human Rights in Chicago. I completed a translation course “Bridging the Gap: basic training for Medical Interpreters” and pursued my career as an interpreter and translator. Currently, I reside in Tennessee, where everyday contact with native English speakers allows me to practice and improve my language skills. My other langauge-related passion is over the phone and video interpretation. I offer excellent quality remote consecutive Polish-English interpretation services (over the phone and video) to clients located in the USA and Great Britain. 

During my career I have developed strong organizational skills and attention to detail. My international work experience helped me acquire excellent communication skills as well as intercultural sensitivity. I approach each project with professionalism and respect. I am very flexible and punctual, able to work under constant deadline pressure. 

I translate the following fields: Legal documents, medical documents, business correspondence, certificates, diplomas, licenses, engineering (general), manufacturing, marketing (market research), advertising, Information Technology, conversation, letters, tourism and travel, fitness, recreation, cosmetics, beauty, culinary and many more. Since I learn with every new project and constantly seek to expand my expertise, I am willing to undertake any specialized translations. 

I offer excellent quality remote consecutive Polish-English interpretation services (over the phone and video) in the following fields: medical, legal, government institutions, financial, education, insurance, social services, IT support, telecommunication, medical equipment support and many more.

Beyond langauges my other passions are: yoga, hiking and gardening.

Please feel free to contact me any time for an estimate via Proz email.

I feel confident that you will be fully satisfied with my superb services!
