Bio
My goal is to provide quality translations within the specified deadlines. My main principals are: accuracy, completeness, and relevance. I focus on making the information simply formulated but descriptive where necessary, clearly defined and easily available to the target audience. I find that in technical and medical documents it is very important to have no room for confusion, while in art pieces it is good to let the mind wander the possibilities.

I grew up in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, a very inspiring and artistic city known for its architecture, artists, writers, poets, and many museums. I was brought up in a very well-read family. When I was 13, we moved to California. I was still young enough to quickly pick up the English language and adapt to use it natively, while still continuing my studies in Russian and Russian literature. As a result, I have command of both English and Russian languages. My inherent interest in linguistics leads me to constantly explore new fields, colloquial and folk sayings, etymologies, as well as local culture and field specific terms.

In the time I have spent in the USA, I have traveled extensively and have held many different jobs. As a result, I have met many people of different cultural and racial background, which gave me knowledge of many diverse groups of people and their language specifics. That gives me an advantage, as many documents are intended for the common public in its many varieties.
