Welcome to my Proz.com profile!

I have been providing interpretation, translation, transcription/subtitling, localization, editing, and proofreading services (English-Russian, Russian-English + Spanish/Ukrainian/Belarusian-English/Russian) on various topics (areas of specialization: general, business communication, economic/financial, medical/biological, marketing, and legal) for over 14 years and I am becoming more and more convinced that my skills and abilities are highly valued in the language services market as there is a shortage of qualified specialists capable of delivering high-quality services!

It is absolutely imperative for anyone requiring language services to be able to rely on the work performed by the hired language consultant. Apart from excellent knowledge of the relevant languages and translation theory, the language consultant must be duly educated and knowledgeable in the subject matter in question. In addition to being a Certified Translation Professional, I am a Biomedical Scientist with experience in scientific and clinical research, a Lawyer with over 9 years of legal experience, and a Master of Business Administration. I have spent half of my life in Russia and the other half — in Australia. Equal fluency in Russian and English, knowledge of other languages, relevant customs, cultures, and traditions, qualifications, and professional experience as well as personal characteristics (punctuality, attention to detail, honesty, respectful treatment of clients and partners, confidentiality, etc.) render me an excellent choice for anyone seeking a language consultant with medical, legal, marketing, and business expertise!

Over the years of being on the language services market, I have provided corresponding services to law firms (Khrenov and Partners, Art de Lex), pharmaceutical companies (Pfizer, Novartis, Sanofi, Baxter, Roche, Janssen, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson&Johnson, Pharma, Bristol-Mayers Squibb, Merck, Quintiles, IQVIA, etc.), other companies (Viza Group, Dula Tour, KrasAvia, Kirby, Aatronic, Norilsk Nickel, Volvo, Ford, etc.), translation agencies (MedConsult, Corporate Translations Inc., Pioneers Translation Services, Perevotta, Quills Linguistics, MedTransService, International Translation & Informatics Ltd., Abbyy Language Services, EGO Translating, Eollabs, Janus Worldwide, Yukon SNC, Poliglot, Skreling, Solten, Profpereklad, Alliance-Alpha, Community International, Eclectic Translations, Exprimo, Localize Group, Advanced International Translations, EC Innovations), and private individuals.

The materials translated, proofread, localized, and edited by me include medical articles, scientific (chemical and biological) reviews, contracts, laws, directives, orders, patents, informed consent forms, meeting minutes, birth certificates, invoices, price lists, diplomas, medical histories, marketing materials, chemical reports, corporate communications, annual reports, batch records, clinical research protocols, case report forms, curricula vitae, passports, discharge summaries, handwritten patient notes, investigator brochures, indemnification letters, authorization letters, patient information leaflets, standard operating procedures, fiction, websites, forums, etc.

The advantages of collaboration with me include the following:

     - multiple specializations (general, business communication, economic/financial, medical/biological, marketing, and legal);

     - translate equally efficiently in all directions (English-Russian, Russian-English + Spanish/Ukrainian/Belarusian-English/Russian);

     - affordable prices and special offers (starting from 0.01 USD/source word);

     - timely delivery of translated materials;

     - high quality of services (I perform translation, editing, and two rounds of proofreading to ensure that the final product is of pristine quality);

     - use of CAT-tools (SDL Trados, Wordfast Pro, Wordfast Classic, Wordfast Anywhere, MemoQ, Memsource, XTM, Smartling, Omega T, XLIFF Editor, Catalyst, Crowdin, Across, Passolo, SmartCAT, etc.);

     - available 7 days a week;

     - large volumes (up to 2000 words/day)!

My Curricula Vitaé (long version) and Résumés (short version) in Russian and English with the relevant parts highlighted in red along with scanned copies of the documents confirming my qualifications and professional experience as well as professional references may be provided to you upon request. I can also send you examples of translations from my rather extensive portfolio and/or can carry out a short test translation if you find yourself interested in my offer.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions!

     Faithfully yours,
