Marina Bertović was born in Vinkovci and graduated from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, where she majored in German and English language and literature. She also completed a postgraduate specialist program in Conference Interpretation organized by the University of Zagreb. In addition to living in Zagreb, where she currently resides, she has also lived in Munich and Brussels, where she worked at the European Commission. For the past several years, she has been working as a freelance conference interpreter and a certified court translator.
She has also been interpreting in church settings for a number of years and has truly mastered this area, fully aware that the interpreter is God’s channel for those who do not understand the original language of the sermon. In that moment, the interpreter is communicating the message, and the Holy Spirit speaks and works through them to reach the listeners.
Marina also heads up a ministry to entrepreneurs and businesspeople, believing it is important for Christians, as God’s people, to be empowered and uplifted in entrepreneurship in order to gain independence and thereby influence the business community and society as a whole beyond the church walls.
She has a deep passion for helping people through prayer and witnessing how the Lord sets them free from spiritual and emotional bondage.
In her free time, she enjoys reading, writing, swimming, walking in nature, and dancing.
