About Me
I am an experienced English translator and interpreter with 13 years of practice. Sworn translator license number: TP/170/14, issued by the Ministry of Justice. I hold a security clearance authorizing access to highly classified information.
I guarantee full professionalism, timeliness, and absolute confidentiality. I specialize in translations for the business, defence, diplomatic, and marketing sectors, as well as for institutions conducting clinical trials. I interpret, among others, for European Union institutions, government administration and parliament, supervisory authorities, international organisations and defence-sector companies. Due to the confidential nature of my assignments I do not publish client names — the same discretion protects everyone I work for.
