Listed in: Languages & Translation, Writing & Content
Since 2010, I have been providing professional copywriting, editing, and translation services to a diverse portfolio of Czech and international companies, e-commerce brands, and nonprofits. My mission is to ensure your communication is not only linguistically flawless but also strategically effective.
I focus mainly on the following areas/services:
- Copywriting in English and Czech — writing appealing web content, business presentations, PR and blog articles, advertisements, newsletters, social media posts, etc.
- (Copy)editing & Proofreading — full-service treatment for your English or Czech texts, from in-depth reviews and structural edits (to improve readability, clarity, SEO factors, and sales) to finishing touches and all-around checks. I leverage both cutting-edge AI tools and collaboration with native English speakers to guarantee top-tier quality.
- Translation, Transcreation & Localisation (EN/CZ) — from localisation and transcreation to MTPE, specialising in shorter to medium-length texts for bilingual websites, blog articles, online shops, social media, app stores, e-commerce projects, printed materials, etc.
- AI post-editing — humanising AI-generated content to make it engaging and authentic.
- AI Model Training & Optimisation — improving Large Language Models (LLMs) through RLHF, data annotation, hallucination detection, and semantic transformation, utilising deep expertise in the Czech language (grammar, orthography, style, etc.).
Qualifications & Professional Background
In terms of qualifications, I hold a Master’s degree in Czech philology (linguistics and literature) from the University of Ostrava, Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) and TORFL-2, B2 level (Testing of Russian as Foreign Language). Over the 15+ years, I have produced, edited and polished hundreds of meaningful texts for numerous clients, both local and international. I offer discounts for nonprofits and do occasional volunteer work — such as for the world-renowned TED organisation or ADRA International (interpreting for Ukrainian war refugees, in Czech/English/Russian).
Besides English and Czech, I communicate and work in Russian (B2) sufficiently to conduct various communication/translation tasks.
