I am a determined and hardworking language enthusiast with a passion for teaching, translating, and poetry. My experience as a teacher and freelance translator has sharpened my ability to explain complex ideas clearly across English and Polish, and my work as a published poet has been acknowledged by a prominent publishing house. I enjoy exploring texts, translating nuanced meaning, and crafting thoughtful prose. I am taking a gap year before studying English Literature and Classics at the University of Edinburgh to travel and gain work experience. I am eager to apply my linguistic and literary skills in a professional setting, whether through teaching, translation, or writing projects.
