I am a 59-year-old freelance interpreter/translator. I graduated from English department of Vilnius University in 1978 and worked as a teacher of English at the University until 1990, when I started my translation/interpretation job for the Lithuania's Prime Minister's Office. Later, I worked for a number of joint ventures, foreign companies and two large Lithuanian banks as a foreign relations manager, marketing director, and a PR officer. All of my jobs included translation/interpretation responsibilities, both in Lithuania and abroad (the USA, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, etc.).
Since 2002, I have been freelancing in the field of professional translation/interpretation and doing some teaching of English at a couple of private schools and to individual students.
My scope of translated material includes thousands of pages of documents, contracts, lectures, articles, etc. in the fields of political science, education, economics, construction, project management, IT, etc. My interpretations, both simultaneous and consecutive, embrace international conferences, seminars, business meetings, and negotiations in the areas of business management, social security, national minority policies, EU support programs, investment, policy making, politics, banking, etc.
