I was born and brought up in Poland. I studied Polish language and literature (Polish Philology) at Jagiellonian University in Cracow, where in 2002 I received master's degree, and also music (specialization: singing and vocal music) in State School of Music (2nd level). In 2003 I emigrated to USA.

I was always fascinated with English and living in NY has given me the great opportunity to not only deepen my knowledge but also remain current in the ever-changing English language and culture.

In 2007 I passed the English proficiency exam and received Certificate of Proficiency in English from University of Cambridge.

I ensure to use appropriate terminology and expressions so my translations makes sense to an expert in the field. I lay emphasis on excellent style and expression that accurately reflects the original text. My work is consistent in maintaining linguistic correctness as well as matching original document in style, tone, presentation and layout.
