Career / Experience

Throughout my years studying and throughout my career I have used my translating skills for various projects. My main passion has always been languages and how to use them. I have worked in various fields in business and IT, but always wanted to find my way back to languages and translating.
Today translating is my main occupation and I work as a freelance translator. I also do some volunteer translating work.
