I was born in Russia, lived in Germany for several years, currently reside in the US.
I speak fluently all 3 languages: Russian (native language), German and English.
I graduated with honors from Economical State University of Saratov, Russia, (Major International Management) - http://www.seun.ru. I am very proud of earning a scholarship (DAAD) for studying at a German University (Philipps University of Marburg), which allowed me to live in Germany for 4 years. I wrote my diploma for Economical State University of Saratov, while working for Nutrinova Ltd., (Frankfurt am Main) in Marketing Research. After that I went back to Russia and graduated from the university, then I continued studying in Germany. I am very fortunate to learn closely all three cultures, which gives me an advantage as a translator for localization projects.
I strive to find the best possible formulation in the language that I am translating to. For all the projects I do, where English is a target language, I work with a proofreader who is a native English speaker. This service is included in my rates.
