About me

I am a freelance translator and an editor, with about 10-15 years of translation experience (roughly, because I was sometimes a journalist at the same time), and 26 years as an editor. I continue as a part-time editor, in addition to translating.

In my translation work, I have concentrated on psychology, mental health, economics, current affairs, politics, marketing, advertising, certificates, health/nutrition, and tourism. I do not do highly technical translations, although I can handle scientific and technical translations aimed at the layman.

My main "calling card" is that I am a top-notch editor and writer, who also has a very good knowledge of German and Russian. I have often worked as a reviewer/editor of translations by others. Many people who are bilingual or nearly so do not have excellent writing skills in English, so often that's where I come in.

I adhere scrupulously to deadlines, as per my 26 years as an editor.

I have a BA in Russian and Psychology, and worked full-time for nine years translating from Russian to English. I have worked for four years translating from German to English.

My preferred CAT tool is OmegaT. I also use Across.
