Bio

As a native Ukrainian, I grew up speaking Ukrainian and Russian. I started studying English 27 years ago and hold a Master's degree in English Translation and Interpreting and English Education with distinction from Zaporizhzhia Classic University. Right after college, I continued as an intern at the "Intourist Hotel" in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. I then had my first career at "Alfa Stroy Baking Company" as a translator and interpreter. Besides that, I taught English at high school #19 in Zaporizhzia and was a private tutor of English.

I moved to the United States 14 years ago to continue my studies in English. So, with the credentials of both a 14-year resident of the US and a native and active Russian and Ukrainian speaker, my cultural relevance applies to both sides of the Atlantic.

I have been working as a translator in the US for ten years and have extensive experience translating, proofreading, and interpreting. I am also experienced in English/Ukrainian/Russian private tutoring and working as a freelance translator.

As a licensed Real Estate agent, I am well familiar and comfortable with real estate translation. With 14 years of sales experience, I specialize in marketing, retail, hospitality, social media, education, and tourism. I provide pro-bono translations for the "Translators without Borders" global volunteer community and "TED Translators" program.

I do not accept medical, engineering, or technical translations as I can not guarantee the quality.

My work as a translator is defined by a studied approach to language nuance and detail, resulting in both technically accurate and culturally authentic translations. With each project, careful consideration of tone is taken to ensure that the final voice is appropriate to the content and target audience. My strength lies in providing a flowing text while translating the message, rather than a literal translation. All this results in translations that help clients effectively communicate, persuade and sell.

I am dedicated to ensuring customer satisfaction by remaining accessible and friendly. I provide extreme preciseness, dedication, impeccable research skills, and superb attention to detail. I always perform projects with passion and full responsibility. I also ensure that I translate material meeting deadlines and quality standards.
