About me

MARIIA KARVONEN



I am a highly experienced translator and interpreter, who lived for thirty years in the Ukraine, where I studied medicine prior to working as a Registered Nurse for six years. I then decided to change my career orientation, and in 2004 I enrolled at the State University in Dnipropetrovsk, where I began to study English, which made me realise that I had a passion for both foreign languages and other cultures. Later that same year, I sat and passed a TOEFL exam, and shortly afterwards I embarked on a new career as an interpreter and translator.

Since 2005, I have translated many business documents using the languages of which I have an expert command, i.e., Russian, Ukrainian, and English. In addition to translating manuals, websites, and contracts, I have also taken part in international negotiations as an interpreter and company representative.

I now reside in the United States, where I continue to work and to indulge my passion as a freelance translator/interpreter.
