Angestellt, Sales and Marketing Manager, Comunica Translations

Fuengirola, Spanien

Über mich

My first contact with languages was during my professional army career where I served as an English-Spanish Interpreter during NATO and Eurocorps manoeuvres in Andalusia (2000-2003). I have been working in the translation industry since 2011. I graduated from Vistula University in 2016 with a BA in English Philology. I was working for approx. 6 years for an MLSP (Multi-Language Service Provider) in Warsaw, Poland as a Localization Tester, Senior Test Engineer, and Language Lead. I combined a full-time job with a freelance job as a Visual Media Translator for the Latin America region. I was the Business Development Manager for a medium RLSP (Regional Language Service Provider) in Fuengirola, Spain for 3 and a half years. I joined the COMUNICA team in March 2020 as Sales and Vendor Manager. Since November 2022 I work as a Sales and Marketing Manager due to a structural reorganization of the company. Currently, I am also helping Skrapling as a part-time BDM.
