I graduated in June 2010 with a B.A. in Russian (First Class Honours) and a B.A. in English (with Distinction). One of the highlights of my academic career was the Honours thesis I wrote, a 150,000 word translation from a contemporary Russian work of literature. It was hailed by the entire Russian department of the University of Calgary as an impressive translation.

Since graduating, I have begun taking the steps involved towards certification with CCTIC. I am involved in a mentorship program through the Alberta Translators and Interpreters Association (ATIA). Also, I am in the middle of a full-length literary translation of a contemporary Russian, which has the potential to be put on by the University of Calgary Drama Department.

This is the beginning of what I fully expect and intend to be a successful translating career; I am looking for experience in all areas of translation, and am very versatile. I offer very low rates because I would like to start building a large and varied basis for my future in the field. I am most experienced in the fields of Language and Linguistics, Education, Literature, Poetry and Slang.
