Summary

I’m a dedicated and experienced translator with over 18 years of practice in translating Dutch and English into Polish. Throughout my career, I’ve built strong expertise in ensuring that every message is not only linguistically accurate, but also culturally relevant and clear to the target audience. I take pride in my attention to detail, my ability to meet deadlines, and my commitment to delivering high-quality translations — no matter the complexity of the text. I’m fluent in the use of industry-standard CAT tools and terminology systems, and I’m always focused on maintaining the right tone, style, and context in every project. I value open communication, enjoy working both independently and as part of a team, and find real satisfaction in helping clients connect across languages.
