Bio
Languages, together with science, have always been a big love of my life. To this day, I consider a language course an amazing birthday gift. Overall, I speak a total of 6 languages: Russian is my native, Hebrew is the bilingual/almost-second native, English is advanced/scientific professional due to my scientific career, Spanish is intermediate/advanced due to previous scientific work in Barcelona. I also speak intermediate French and basic Italian, having taken 4 years or a 1-year course, respectively.I have a unique combination of skills: language skills, broad and deep science expertise from 15+ years of research, writing, reading, proofreading, working with other people, managing projects and adhering to tight deadlines. My great love for reading all kinds of literature provided me rich cultural knowledge, from Greek Mythology to Science Fiction.I am currently enrolled in the MCIS-ProZ OTTP program to be trained as a translator, and also working on obtaining official language certificates.
