I have experience working both as an in-house translator of German/Russian into English and as a freelance translator translating a wide variety of documents from technical manuals for the automotive industry through financial documents and annual reports to promotional material for multinational companies and prestigious events.
I have a very wide general knowledge which stems from varied work experience before starting my career in translation: this includes working in the accounts department of a well-known concrete manufacturer, English language teaching both in UK and abroad, market research, health promotion, catering and floristry.
When I'm not translating, I spend most of my time working within the entertainment world, providing technical support for indoor and outdoor events. I mainly deal with lighting, sound, pyrotechnics and set design & construction......... however, I have also trodden the boards once or twice myself.
In addition I have a keen interest in sports and outdoor activities in general and have worked as an outdoor activity instructor teaching children the art of rock climbing, abseiling, quad biking and the like.
