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 Germany—where her language skills could have been put to good use—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.
