Bio
As a conference interpreter, I provide simultaneous and consecutive interpretation from English, French, and Dutch into Russian, as well as from Russian into English.

As a translator, I work from English, Dutch, and French into Russian, and from Russian, Dutch, and French into English. Freelance translator since 2013, I have worked on various types of texts – from fashion catalogues and luxury brand training materials to legal contracts and IFUs for medical devices. I enjoy working on new subject areas, but I am particularly passionate about international business, social sciences, environmental studies, indigenous peoples' issues, and the Arctic.
