Bio

I’m a Polish linguist
and polyglot with over ten years of experience in the field of interpreting,
translation and language teaching. I studied Applied Linguistics at Warsaw
University (English and Russian) and later, Russian and East European Studies
(Czech and Slovak) with a special focus on Cinema and Literature at University
College London. I graduated in 2011 with A First-Class Honours, multiple
awards, including The Dean’s List. 

 

Languages are not
only the foundation of my professional life but also one of my greatest
passions. It’s thanks to my linguistic skills that I have always been able to
cultivate my second biggest passion - travelling/hitch-hiking and to reach the
most remote corners of the globe. Travelling, on the other hand, enabled me to
learn additional languages such as Hebrew and later, Spanish and
Portuguese. 

 

I left my home
country at a young age and in the past two decades I have lived in different
countries all across the world, ranging from Russia to United Arab Emirates. In
2014 I settled on the Pacific coast of Ecuador where, together with my
Brazilian husband, I created a no 1 guesthouse in one of the most popular
tourist destinations of Ecuador. Naturally, my language skills are of key
importance in running the business and dealing with clients from all over the
globe. 

 

My in-depth knowledge
of Polish, English, Russian, Czech, Spanish and Portuguese has been
particularly helpful in various types of research and consulting work I’ve been
engaged in for the past 10 years. Most recently I completed a series of
projects (payments and financial markets) for KAE - a top London-based
marketing consulting company specialising in financial consulting. 

 

I am very passionate
about humanitarian work as well as human rights/political activism and I often
contribute to different causes with my fundraising and language skills (mainly
translation and interpreting). 

Languages are my
whole life, I use four of them with my closest family (husband and daughter)
and up to eight in my daily life, particularly when dealing with tourists.
