I am a bilingual language professional with >10 years of experience in translation, editing/proofreading and localisation. It all started when I was a teenager and decided to translate a Russian science fiction novel into English so that my best friend could read it. This labour of love was my first foray into translation and I decided to pursue T&I as a career in 2012, when I undertook a 4-month internship at a translation agency in Tel Aviv, Israel. In 2020, I completed the Postgraduate Programme in Specialised Translation at KU Leuven in Antwerp, Belgium.

I specialise in Medicine, Life Sciences, Pharmacology, Literature/Fiction, Marketing and Computer Games. I hold a Bachelor of Physiotherapy and a Postgraduate Certificate in Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy from the University of Melbourne, Australia and I have worked as a physiotherapist since 2008. My firsthand knowledge of the human body and the modern healthcare system has given me the skills to translate medical journal articles, hospital discharge summaries and test reports, letters to/from Ethics Committees, etc. with accuracy and confidence.

nr7tm0hlianibhnix5wp.jpgI regularly attend international translation and interpreting conferences, including FIT Congress 2017 (Australia), Translation Forum Russia 2018 and Translation Forum Russia 2019, UTIC-2020 (online), CONTACT Online Conference 2021 and, most recently, the ITI Conference 2022 in Brighton, UK. I presented at TFR 2018, with a 45-minute talk about translating novels from Russian to English. My online presentation at UTIC-2020 described my postgraduate translation studies in Antwerp, Belgium, while my online presentation at CONTACT Online Conference explored how to deal with racism and sexism in literary translation. I am a ProZ.com Professional Trainer, with a webinar presentation entitled 'Beyond False Friends: how to avoid making typical mistakes when translating from Russian to English'.

I am incredibly proud of my creative translations, both video games and novels. I have translated four novels by Andrei Livadny: Blind Punch, The Shadow of Earth, Servobattalion and Edge of the Abyss (http://www.amazon.com/Andrei-Livadny/) and seven litRPG novels by Petr Zhgulyov: City of GoblinsCity of the Undead, Defending Earth, Overlord of the Dungeon, Sovereign, The Return and The Choice (https://www.amazon.com.au/Petr-Zhgulyov/). I am currently translating a new litRPG series called The Village, of which two novels (Rabbits: Keep Out! and Goblins: Keep Out!) have already been published.

My video game translations have ranged from the quaint but creepy indie puzzle-platformer World of One by the Grimwood Team to the zany and dialogue-heavy relaunch of Red Comrades 3: Return of Alaska by Buka Development.
