Bio

I am an English-Czech translator and proofreader with a Master´s degree in Translation Studies. I´ve worked as a freelancer since the university studies and gained considerable experience in various, mainly tech/IT-related fields during that time. I believe that technical education is not an indespensable prerequisite for being a good technical translator given that s/he has an open mind, willingness to learn new things and excellent language skills.

I highly appreciate the freedom that freelancing has brought me with all the related responsibilities, so I always strive to be a good partner for my clients. Reliability, flexibility, client´s needs, and the sense of professional ethics are of prime importance to me; you can always be sure your deadlines will be met and your work done professionally.

I spend several years (2015-2020) on maternity leave with two small kids, keeping my business going at the same time. This taught me a lot about self-discipline, work planning and knowing my limits. Now I am back at the full-time work and constantly expanding my client base.
