Bio

Born and raised in St. Petersburg, Russia, I have lived and worked in different corners of the world:  Canada, Cayman Islands, UAE, Malaysia, USA,
and St.Kitts and Nevis, where I reside presently.  Living and working internationally allowed me to acquire not only linguistic but also extensive cultural knowledge of
English.

As a language professional, I have had a longstanding career in Teaching English as a Second Language to Speakers of Other
Languages.  I have also had sound expertise in translation from English to Russian and Russian to English.  

My relevant certifications and awards include:

- MA in Linguistics and TESOL, with Distinction, Sheffield
Hallam University, UK.

- Certificate of Proficiency in Translation and
Interpretation (Languages: 
Russian/English), The Oxford School of Languages, Toronto, Canada.

- Certificate of Completion, Proz.com and MCIS Online Translator Training Program. 

Professional memberships: 

I am a member of CIOL (the UK’s leading professional body for
language professionals)

CIOL number:  64039.

My translation specializations are in general, scientific,
medical, and literary translations.  My
approach to the process of translation is the accurate transfer of information,
that is, maintaining originality, and at the same time keeping awareness of the
style, register, and function of the “source” text. 

My strength lies in my passion for translating and writing,
and attention to detail is my personality trait.  In addition, I have excellent writing skills
in my target language (Russian) which I keep up to date by reading extensively and
communicating with the members of the Russian community.

I am open to undertaking both
short-term and long-term translation projects to the best of my abilities.
