ABOUT ME
I have more than 12 years of proven experience as a staff translator at professional services firms and as a freelance
translator for Moscow-based translation agencies. Holding a degree in English/French, I specialise in written legal
translations and also have a robust background in business translations (taxation, banking, finance, audit). I have a
strong insight into my area of practice, maintaining linguistic form through everyday work and translator trainings.
I deliver translations distinguished by high accuracy and precise rendering of all nuances of the source text. I am
attentive to detail, deadline-sensitive and able to handle large volumes.
