15 years of experience as a translator/interpreter, including 12 years as a conference interpreter. Conference interpreting for a number of important events.
Here is a small part of what I have handled in my subject areas over many years.
Law:
Former lawyer (University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, commercial companies).. Strong legal skills; practical experience with courts, both as a lawyer and translator/interpreter.
• Part-time, and later freelance, translator/interpreter for IRIS-Ukraine (Institutional Reforms and Informal Sector, a USAID-funded project led by US and Ukrainian lawyers) (1999). Core activities of the project included participation of US lawyers in the development (in cooperation with Ukrainian lawyers, parliament members, Ministry of Justice officials, etc.) of the registration system for property titles and pledges in Ukraine.
