Bio
ABOUT ME:
I have finished Linguistics and Cultural Studies (specialisation: Central and Eastern Europe) at the University in Leuven (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) with the diploma of Bachelor which has been followed by Master degree with specialisation in Polish studies. Currently aswell I reside in Leuven and have a status of freelancer.
I have worked on translations as well as on interpretations since already 4 years. I have been an on-a-side interpreter for the needs of Belgian-Polish Real Estate company located in Knyszyn (near to Warsaw). Furthermore, volontary translating (English-Polish)of press releases for needs of the Amnesty International gave me a magnificent opportunity for mastering HR and policy related vocabulary.
Today I participate in courses for Social Translators and Interpreters for needs of the Flamish Government (with specialisation Polish-Dutch/Dutch-Polish) In addition I give volontary translations for Polish NGO's (Polish-Dutch)
I am eager for next projects and new challenges.
