I am an author/writer/international journalist by profession and began translation when I was writing my second book, Escape from Ward Six based in St. Petersburg, Russia, in the nineties. I have a B.A. (magna cum laude) in Russian Literature and the Certificate of the Russian Institute from the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University which provided me with an excellent linguistic basis for further honing these skills in in Russia. My first assignments was translating a book, Velasquez, for Aurora Art Publishers, St. Petersburg/Parkstone, UK, and then several art and exhibition catalogues for the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg.

When writing my two books I conducted hundreds of interviews in Russian with politicians, artists, economists, well known writers, musicologists, human rights activists, people from all walks of life – all of which I translated into English.

I work in the field of media with international organizations so I used my French and Russian as a spokesperson, for example in giving press conferences and translating the Russian media in Georgia, Moscow, Almaty, Kazakhstan and Kyiv,Ukraine.

I worked 12 years in Russia/Cis, including as a translator, international communications specialist, Moscow Times editor/translator, author for Washington think tank based in Almaty, Kazakhstan

From my lengthy professional association with the region through international organizations, think tanks and the media, publishing houses, I acquired knowledge of business, finance, economics, law, the arts, politics, archaeology, travel and tourism, among others.

I am bilingual in English and French.I worked as a translator for international organizations, including in New York covering the UN Security Council and General Assembly and high-level meetings and conference as a French-English and Russian English translator and Precis Writer.
