Bio

I have lived, studied, and worked in Russia and the US, and am a native speaker of both Russian and English.

My experience in different countries, industries, and environments (finance, advertising, IT, medicine / translation, interpreting, copywriting, editing, etc) has given me the knowledge and intuition necessary to convey message and atmosphere accurately and well.

My standard for a translation: perfectly idiomatic, fluid, elegant, and better than the original.

My areas of specialization: Finance/Business, Internet, Law, Medicine. My forte: literary translation. I've translated and edited research and PR publications for financial firms, interpreted at conferences and legal depositions, translated and developmentally edited tour brochures, catalogues for fine art exhibits, academic books, novels, and non-fiction. Also song lyrics.

Considerations of quality supersede those of quantity. That said, I can translate an average of 2500 words a day.

Samples of up to 250 words will be gladly translated for serious potential clients.
