I have had the pleasure of working with Petra several times, both in person and during online calls. She has been an invaluable support as an interpreter during discussions on various aspects of auditing. Petra is not only an exceptional interpreter but also demonstrates an impressive ability to immerse herself in the subject matter as if it were her daily focus.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Ms. Petra Badalec, an interpreter, to our radiodiagnostic department to assist in training staff on the use of a new CT scanner. We were truly impressed by this remarkable professional in action – taking lightning-fast notes and delivering quick, clear translations. Her ability to grasp complex medical and technical aspects of the software being explained was nothing short of extraordinary. Petra is exceptionally knowledgeable, wonderfully pleasant, and remarkably humble. Working with her was an unforgettable experience.

Petra came in advance, had prepared materials for each speaker in advance and and interpreted everything fluently between English and Czech. Many guests praised her impressive performance. We would love to hire her again and highly recommend her!

Petra is a fantastic interpreter! Not only did she do a great job with her interpreting to ensure that our panel discussion ran absolutely smoothly (both in Czech and English), but she was obviously very well prepared and made us feel very comfortable.
