Bio

For a free quote please contact me via my Proz.com profile!

I have been working for more than 15 years as a translator/interpreter in Russia, Scandinavia, and Australia. I started translating academic articles back in 2003 while working at one of the Russian Universities. Later I gained experience in translating marketing, legal, health care and educational documents.

I have a solid academic background holding a PhD in Linguistics.

Areas of expertise:
• International organisations, government and politics (thousands of translated and edited pages for various UN, EU, Australian institutions)
• Legal (agreements, sale and purchase contracts, court rulings, service contracts, employment contracts, lease agreements, treaties, powers of attorney, wills, etc.)
• Medical, health care, pharma and dentistry (trained nursing aide, translation and interpreting for various hospitals in Queensland)
• Education (registered high school teacher in Queensland, academic transcripts, leaflets and webpages for Universities and schools, diplomas, educational certificates etc.)
• Marketing (translations for famous brands) and apps translation and localisation (specialising in educational games and apps and online casino)


I live and work in Brisbane, Queensland which is an advantage if you want to place an overnight project without paying extra fees.


I am a NAATI certified translator (English into Russian), and a NAATI recognised practising translator (Ukrainian into English; Polish into English). NAATI is is the national standards and accreditation body for translators and interpreters in Australia.



Excellent knowledge of my native language, Russian, and my second language, English, helps me to accomplish very difficult translations. As a translator living in an English speaking country and dealing with English on a daily basis, I can guarantee a 100% understanding of the English texts. I keep my Russian up to date by watching Russian movies, actively participating in the life of the local Russian, Polish and Ukrainian communities and promoting Russian, Polish and Ukrainian languages and cultures to ensure that my clients will receive the best translations ever!
Danish is our home language - I am fully immersed into the Scandinavian culture (movies, newspapers, cultural events, trips to Denmark and Sweden).



Apart from being a professional translator, I also run workshops and webinars for translators and interpreters. I am proud to be a Proz.com trainer.
