"Both of us think that you did a remarkable job and we are very pleased. It was very nice transacting business with you; hopefully we will have another chance in the future."

(From a direct client in the U.S.A.)


"... I would like to express my sincere gratitude for all your more than professional attitude toward this very difficult project. Regardless of the pressure that I put you under, you have been very pleasant to work with at all times (even in the middle of the night!). I can't express how much I appreciated that.

You have done a superb job, the translation was of a superior quality and the client complimented us on that. They were very impressed by the work we did.

Again, it has been a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working with you again. Rest assured you are at the top of my list of Hungarian linguists. I will recommend you to my colleagues without hesitation. "

Personal interests:
Travel, cultures, languages, current affairs, history, technological developments, climate change, various global issues
Having travelled rather extensively, I keep up to date with world events by reading news in several languages.
I'm also interested in writing (journalism, blogging and later maybe also fiction) and graphic design. I'm also a published author.
