First of all, I would like to thank you for taking your time to pay a visit! Welcome and enjoy exploring my profile!
After graduating from Riga State 1st Gymnasium, where besides advanced Math studies I enrolled in advanced language study group (languages being - English, German, French, Latin, Russian), I studied Medicine, International Law, and European Studies.
In year 2000, I traveled to USA where I studied, worked, and lived for five years. Besides the real life experience, which improved my English skills, I also studied conversational Italian and French. In year 2003, I became a real estate agent at a well-known real estate franchise - Coldwell Banker. In year 2004, I was promoted to office manager position for the Coldwell Banker franchise and continued self-development in the real estate field by taking advanced real estate classes at Polley Associates (Pennsylvania). In year 2005, I had completed all classes required for the highest real estate broker education. Some of the courses were: Real Estate Law, Real Estate Construction, Property Management, Real Estate Investment, Brokerage and Office Management, Real Estate Sales, etc., which involved on-hands experience in learning various legal, business, marketing, and sales terminology.
In year 2006, I enrolled in University College of Culture and Economy in Riga, where my major is Translations/Interpreting. My ultimate career goal is to become an interpreter in three languages (Latvian, English, and Spanish). I have already begun various activities to move a little bit closer to this goal.
At the end of year 2005 (which was also the time when I returned back home from the States), I started my career in freelance translations. Since then, I have developed good cooperation with several local and international intermediary translator's offices (recommendations available upon request) and with several other clients, including the Ministry of Health of Latvia, etc.
My favorite topics for translations are real estate (of course) and various kinds of legal and business-related texts, as well as other fields that are interesting to most of the simple and mortal people.
Being some of my oh-so-many hobbies, I can mention geography, reading good literature, sporting activities, and, of course, traveling. I am also a news-junkie of BBC news, FOX news, and CNN, therefore am always on top of the current affairs of the world.
