ABOUT ME
Between 2004 and 2010 I lived in Edinburgh and worked as a sessional interpreter for Edinburgh City Council (mainly healthcare settings). I have moved back to Poland but I continue to work on freelance translation assignments from other UK and international agencies. EDUCATION
I specialised in general translation while studying at English Department of University of Lodz and I graduated in June 2004 with MA in English Studies.

After taking a preparatory course at City University (London), I sat Diploma in Translation exam (English to Polish) in January 2006. I passed two out of three papers with a distinction.

In 2007, I passed Diploma in Public Service Interpreting exam.
