Bio

I interpret at international conferences, expert seminars or cultural events. I also have extensive experience with interpreting at trainings, advertising events or business meetings. I provide interpreting services for the Czech TV. As a translator and interpreter, I focus mainly on finance and law, but I am open to broaden my knowledge of other fields. In 2020, I became an EU-accredited freelance interpreter.

My professional highlights are, from a personal perspective: interpreting at the preparatory meeting of the UN Economic and Social Council and at the World Assembly of the World Organisation for Early Childhood Education, both held in Prague in 2018. In 2019, I had the great honour to interpret a debate with Mario Vargas Llosa, Nobel Prize laureate in Literature.

Before fully embracing freelancing, I worked as Translation Leader at Decathlon Czech Republic. Among other things, I gained experience with project management and team leadership, which I make full use of today, for example, in organizing interpreting at conferences or coordinating demanding multilingual translation projects.

I am a naturally curious person – a personal trait considered a must for interpreters – which means I constantly strive to broaden my horizons. Thanks to this, I can quickly grasp highly specialized and diverse topics ranging from metal cutting through marine biogeochemistry to blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies.

My perfect knowledge of terminology and meticulous preparation are the two things my clients value the most. They also praise my flexibility in dealing with unexpected situations, seamless communication and a professional approach both before and during the event.
