Greetings! Ever since I began my career as a freelance translator in 2002, I have not had a single dissatisfied customer. In the past few years I have worked for a number of clients in Europe and the US. Before I joined the community of freelancers I worked for about seven years in well-known international companies such as Nestle and Japan Tobacco International. One of my major responsibilities there was translating contracts, business and financial reports, presentations, and other company documentation. Through these jobs I have acquired valuable experience and an understanding of the business world which helps me a great deal in my current occupation. I also worked for several months in a small firm based in Santa Monica, CA during my nine months stay in Los Angeles in 2005/2006.

It was twenty years ago when I first started studying English, and in 2001 I received an MA in Germanic Philology (majored in English) from the St. Petersburg Institute of Foreign Languages, Russia. In the past four years during our stay in Prague, Czech Republic, I studied Czech, which is now one of my working languages as well. Currently my husband and I live in Vienna, Austria, where we plan to stay for three years, so it is a good opportunity for me to learn German.
