Bio
I was born in Russia but have lived in the UK since age 11.

This year, I completed an MA in Applied Translation Studies at Leeds (pass with Distinction; specialisation: Ru>En; top marks in the year for the extended translations).

I have substantial experience translating both ways (Ru>En/En>Ru), but my preferred target language is English. The materials I have worked with have included NGO and IGO reports, legal documentation (immigration/criminal), academic texts, educational materials, computer games, and software. I also occasionally translate from Ukrainian.

Starting January 2015, I will be independently delivering a translator training program for undergraduates studying Russian at the University of Leeds. It will follow a syllabus of my own design, incorporating elements of structural and corpus linguistics as well as more traditional genre and register analysis.

I have some experience of working as an interpreter (Ru<>En). My most colourful assignment was a public debate between a Russian journalist and a Ukrainian member of BBC editorial staff (followed by a question and answer session); however, most of my work has been in a legal/immigration setting. I am happy to offer my services as a simultaneous, consecutive, or liaison interpreter.

In my earlier incarnations, I have been a fencing coach, an IT project manager, and a research scientist (specialising in condensed matter quantum-chemical calculations).
