Career / Experience

About me

I study applied linguistics (English, French and Italian) at Maria Curie – Skłodowska University in Lublin with Translation as my main specialization. I adore travelling. My two passions are foreign languages and playing the violin in folk dance ensemble. It allows me to travel all around the world and visit enthralling places all over the world several times a year. Not only are these journeys opportunities to get acquainted with new cultures and customs, but also they give me a chance to get into contact with a vivid language used by native speakers (both English and French) and hugely help me to perfect my translation skills.
