About my interpreting experience
Extensive experience as a (sworn) interpreter/translator in Albanian, active since 1989. Employed in various specializations such as business, culture, finance, medicine and pharmacy, environment, nature, justice and technology.
About me (place of birth, native language, other details)
Born in "the once existing country" of Yugoslavia, in the then province (now an independent country) of Kosovo. More than 90% of the inhabitants of Kosovo are ethnically Albanian. My mother tongue is Albanian. In addition, I am fluent in three more languages at a high level. However, I interpret only from and to my native Albanian language.
Credentials
After going through grammar school in Kosovo, I started two university studies, law and English language (philological faculty of the University of Prishtina). Due to my arrival in the Netherlands, I did not finish either of these studies.
