Bio


Linguist, LQA/Localization Specialist

I’ve always been passionate about languages and cultures, so I studied Translation, International Communications, Culture Studies, and Linguistics. I now hold a Specialist Diploma in Translation & Translation Theory (with Honors), equivalent to a Master’s Degree in the US.

My career as a translator and interpreter started in 2003. I was involved with the local Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Chelyabinsk, Russia), accompanied a group of Russian tourists on their trip to Egypt, and worked with a large, Russia-based, international design institute.

After moving to the US in 2005, I decided to follow my passion further. I now successfully run my own translation business, helping local (US-based) and international clients produce content in Russian and English (US), expand their online presence, reach customers in their target markets, develop their business, and increase their revenue.

Who will benefit the most from our cooperation:
- Marketing & advertising departments at large international corporations looking to expand to the Russian and the US markets
- News outlets wishing to reach their target audience in Russia and the US
- Video games developers who want to bring their games to players in Russia and the US
- Apps/software developers who want to offer their products to users in Russia and the US
- Broadcast media and media production companies wishing to produce audio and video content in Russian and English
- Companies in the motion picture and entertainment industry that want to make their content available to their target audience in Russia and the US
- Publishers who want to have their books translated into Russian and English
- Companies in the hospitality, tourism & travel industry that want to have their websites localized for Russian- and English-speaking clients
