How It Started....

In 2007, Paolina, a determined Bulgarian mother-of-two, left her homeland to start afresh in Belfast.

Although opportunities awaited her in other European countries like France and Germanyā€”where her language skills could have been put to good useā€”a meaningful connection to a local property ultimately brought her to Belfast.

Over the past 18 years, she has transformed her early experiences into a thriving translation and interpreting business that now plays a pivotal role in the city's culturally diverse community.
