I am a multi-skilled, qualified translator with excellent communication skills and an academic background in language studies and economics. Flexible in the ability to adapt to challenges when they arise and with previous experience in both business and the not-for-profit sector. I am a quality-oriented translator who delivers accurate translations to set deadlines. The fact that I have been living and working in an English-speaking country for the past nine years enables me to translate with great precision. I believe it is crucial that translated and localized content looks, sounds and reads as natural as the original. I understand the importance of not only conveying the meaning but also the tone of the original content.

4 years experience with translations, post-editing, subtitling and transcribing, both English-Czech and Czech-English.
