Order Translation

Profile

Привет!
I was born in Ukraine (then part of USSR); my native languages are Russian and Ukrainian. By education I am PhD in Earth Sciences, and before emigrating to the US (in 1992) worked as Associate Professor at one of higher education institutions in Kiev (capital of Ukraine). Besides, being fond of languages, I studied several languages (at courses or by myself), wrote abstracts of foreign scientific publications (these abstracts were published in the Moscow magazine devoted to scientific information) and translated multiple novels and other works of fiction from English, Spanish, Italian and Polish into Ukrainian and Russian; my translations were published in various publishing houses or journals of the country. This "hobby" became my principal occupation in the US. As a freelancer, I am engaged in translating various documents in a number of areas, and also in interpreting (legal, medical, etc.) I am certified by the ATA as English-Russian translator, and currently serve as the Chair of the ATA English-Russian grading group; prior to that, I serve as the Chair of the ATA English-Ukrainian grading group. As a court interpreter (Russian and Ukrainian) I am approved by the court systems of the states of New York and New Jersey.

Where I live

I live in a picturesque township of Colts Neck in the state of New Jersey, USA.
