~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During my studies I gained experience and broadened my knowledge in wide field of education, upbringing, psychology, philosophy, sociology, etc.

My computer science education helped me to learn a lot about many issues related to that matter.
This field is now my passion and I always try to improve both my knowledge and experience.

It is more than five years now during which I've been working as a full time freelance translator. During this time I had the opportunity to participate in many projects
that allowed me to gain experience and improve my skills.

Earlier, I worked also as a private English teacher preparing my students for their exams, as well as to speak and think in English.

I'm a diligent translator with my eyes and ears widely open while searching for the perfect words and doing my best to let no meaning be gone with the wind.
I always seek for new challenges, but I never do things that I do not have the foggiest idea about.
