Bio
I am a freelance translator based in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Born in 1979, my mother tongue is Czech and I am proficient in English (CPE, grade A) as well as semi-proficient in Spanish (Venezuelan wife). I can also communicate in German and Italian.

I specialise in legal translations. I am the author of the official translation of the new Czech Civil Code, the single largest legal regulation of the Czech law. Likewise, I specialise in EU matters, in particular with regard to cohesion policy and Structural Funds.

I have worked as a translator since 2007 and since then, I have had the honour to work for a number of prominent Czech clients, ranging from public authorities (e.g. the Ministry of Justice with the translation of the new Civil Code) to the private sector (e.g. Investment Agreement between Hyundai and the Czech Republic). Now I am trying to reach out to potential clients from abroad.

In addition to CPE, in 2011, I passed the Czech State Translator's Exam, grade A, with the top score in the class. I have a Master's degree in Economics (2006).

In addition to languages, I am interested in the world around me in all its complexity. I keep myself updated on a number of areas ranging from international/domestic politics, science and technology, markets/business, the Internet and new media, culture etc.

Go ahead and try me out:)
