Bio
Interpreter/translator from Russian into English since June 2001, from French into English since December 2011. I have always been considered "good at languages"; I was lucky to be able to learn Russian at school ; my first visit to Russia (USSR) was in 1982 ; I took Joint Honours Russian and French at Oxford University ; I have recently completed the MA programme in Conference Interpreting at Queen's University, Belfast.

My domains are a cluster of business, legal, medical, and technical subjects. I have worked for such diverse clients as Spar, Kaspersky, Renault, Venofer, Nutrilon,The Moscow Arbitration Court, Siemens, Powerscreen and McCloskey International.

Working as an interpreter / translator has been an amazing journey through the minds and cultures of different individuals and organisations : I hope to keep on increasing the number of destinations on that journey.
