Greetings, and thank you for coming to my profile. I have lived in Japan for six years as a language teacher, study abroad student, translator, and interpreter. I specialized in philosophy and Japanese at the University of Colorado and then later got my masters in philosophy and science studies at Central European University. I have translated a wide variety of source material, from legal and medical documents to social media campaigns to essays. I look forward to working on your project!
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.
I have been translating/proofreading for over 15 years. I can do various certificates, personal/business letters and documents, manuals and reports. I also do books.
