About me

My extensive background in linguistics and lifelong passion for language makes me ideally suited to the vocation of interpreter and translator. It is not merely a job and object of study for me but a source of endless pleasure. When working, I take account of the many subtleties and nuances involved in language and take great care to find the optimal cultural equivalent of what needs to be said. Living in Germany for several years helped me perfect my German and acquaint myself with all aspects of the language and culture. My background in Lithuanian philology also enables me to render any text or speech in perfect and contextually appropriate Lithuanian. If you would like to know more about my background, experience and skills please feel free to contact me and I’ll gladly answer your questions. You can find my Linkedin account here.
