Karolina Krizova, PhD

I am a certified Italian-Czech, Czech-Italian translator and interpreter specialised in the fields of law, business, commerce, marketing, travel & tourism. Thanks to my postgraduate linguistics education, thorough knowledge of both languages and work experience since 2005, I can provide you with translation services of the highest quality with an emphasis on cultivated expression, precision, consistency, terminology as well as creativity.

Since 2005, I have been fully devoted to translating and interpreting. In 2006, the Regional Court in Brno appointed me as a court interpreter for the Italian language. I am also a member of the prestigious Chamber of Court Appointed Interpreters and Translators of the Czech Republic (KST ČR) and registered as an interpreter in the Italian Embassy in Prague.

In 1993, I gained a Master’s degree in Italian language and literature from Masaryk University in Brno. In 1998, I completed my PhD degree in Modern philology from the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy. In addition, I have attended numerous certificated courses and seminars in legal and Italian terminology for translating.
