Bio
A professional translator with a master's degree with honours in Applied Linguistics.

Have completed post-graduate studies in social communication.


Have 9 years of experience in European (Erasmus+, Council of Europe, Black Sea Trust) projects, as a sending organization, applicant, and a (non-formal learning-based) trainer - which makes me capable of working in any international team.

Work


Twelve years of editing, proofreading, translating, and writing experience in native languages (Ukrainian and Russian) and English.
Localization: language package translator of vk.com social network (the biggest in ex-USSR countries), translated the site into Ukrainian (prooflink).
Localized Marvel comics into Russian.


Organized a series of European Commission's Youth in Action/Erasmus+ international projects (trainings, youth exchanges) as an applicant, sending organization, and trainer all over Europe.

I have also provided consultations to small businesses on personal branding (more than 50 satisfied clients).

Have a broad base of different European languages knowledge (Byelorussian, Polish, German, French, Italian).


Always polite, accurate, and friendly.


Am open to negotiations, learning and trying new things.
