POLISHED TRANSLATIONS

Technical, medical and legal translation; telephone and face-to-face interpreting. Always ready for new challenges.

I have been working as translator and interpreter since 1997. I specialise in technical texts, but I have also translated a number of books from English into Polish, dealing with subjects such as psychology or business. Over the years I have aquired some experience in the medical field. I have worked as an interpreter at business meetings, trade fairs etc.; I also provide the increasingly popular telephone interpreting services.

You can rest assured that your translation will be of the highest quality and deadlines will always be met. Professionalism guaranteed.
