Russian is my native language, and my proficiency in English is close to a native speaker's level. This, along with my good writing command, allows me to provide the highest accuracy and quality of translation. To ensure consistency, I prefer to rely on translation memory (CAT tools) and terminology software (Trados, MemoQ).

I have a university degree in translation and over 15 years professional experience, including a position as an in-house translator at a leading Belarussian and world-wide companies. My responsibilities as a full-time translator at World Bank office in Minsk included translating, editing and proofreading economic, legal and other documents from English into Russian and from Russian into English. I worked with a variety of documents, including: balance sheets and profit&loss statements, country reports, contracts and legal correspondence, documents of association and other foundation documents.

As a freelance translator, my clients currently include translation agencies, businesses and non-profit organizations in North America, Europe and other parts of the world. I specialize primarily in the field of IT and economic translation; however, my expertise is not limited to this area. As a translator I have worked in a variety of fields including business, international relations, web-design and software development and other areas and have successfully handled translation jobs of all sizes including those with extremely large word counts and tight deadlines.

My main areas of expertise:

• Computers and Hardware
• IT, Telecommunication, Networks
• Medical and pharmaceuticals
• Economy, Finance and Law
• Ecology and Environment
• Sports and entertainment

I have all equipment necessary to work at a distance such as 24 hour high speed cable Internet access along with a dial-up backup connection, word-processing and DTP software.
