Award-winning translator and copywriter, winner of the 2017 Wiener Library Award.
I have worked several projects for various clients, including academics at the University of Manchester and eCommerce business in Germany. I am also a copywriter and publicity manager in theatre, most recently for Manchester-based company Harry T. Thompson Productions.
I've been translating full-time since 1994. Certified by the court in Utrecht. End clients include all the major banks and law firms in the Netherlands, universities (VU Amsterdam, TU Delft & Eindhoven, etc.) and, until it was wound up, the UN Yugoslavia Tribunal. I also provide voiceover work (neutral British male accent, "rich and calm").
I am a lifelong linguist (originally graduating in Russian from Oxford before working in Japan for 12 years and mastering that language) who has been working as a translator since 2014, though my first paid translation work was in 1994 in Moscow.
I aim to work hard to establish a good reputation with agencies and private clients. I am prepared to be flexible about rates where regular work or large projects are concerned.
I look forward to working on translation projects through 2drops.
With a BS in Geological & Geophysical Sciences and an MS in Marine Environmental Sciences, my clients benefit from both my education and real-life experience in environmental consulting and regulation. This, combined with 10 years of language teaching experience as well as eight plus years of technical translation experience, allow me to produce accurate translations of technical, scientific and academic documents written in the appropriate register. My areas of specialization include Environment & Ecology, Geology, Renewable Energy, Wastewater Treatment, Geotechnical Studies, Sustainability and Environmental Regulation. In addition, I have developed a significant repertoire of translations in other scientific and technical fields including medical and dental research, clinical trials, pharmacovigilance, industrial processes and engineering, construction, wind turbines, urban planning, and a wide range of instruction manuals for a variety of industrial applications.
