Summary
About Me
My name is Karolina Piotrowska. I am an English-Polish and Polish-English translator and proofreader, based in Cheshire, UK. I have been working as a freelance translator since 2002.
Six years later this has become my main job and the greatest life-long passion.
Since then I have developed a long-term cooperation with a number of agencies and individual clients from the whole of Europe.
I also provide voice-over and transcription services.
Expertise
I strongly believe that a good translator needs to have specialist knowledge in chosen areas, whether supported by suitable qualifications or extensive experience in the subject matter. Expertise areas include:
- IT
- Education
- Law and Public Administration
- Medicine and Healthcare
- Technology
- Marketing
