Translation of online courses

A series of short-term courses to support the rebuilding of Ukraine after the war were developed by the Finnish partners within the EU4Skills project. The courses targeted adult learners to help them acquire and update their skills in a shortened period. I translated a significant part of the content for these courses, including on helping children in crisis, hygiene in food service, fundamentals of construction drawings, assisting in electrical installations, cognitive biases, circular economy, teacher training and more.

As a freelancer since 2015, I've served clients like the European Training Foundation, the International Energy Agency, law firms, and other reputable organizations and LSPs.


I offer translation, editing/proofreading, and consecutive/whispered interpreting.
My main areas of expertise include:

  • Education: vocational education & training (VET), preschool, primary, inclusive education, e-learning

I also have experience in other fields. Please check my CV or contact me to learn more.

My goal is to build trusting and lasting relationships with my clients.
