Baltic and Scandinavian studies: political science, history and sociology. As a PhD student, I have done extensive research in Lithuanian and Latvian on the topic of church-state relations. I have translated several academic articles from Lithuanian into English and shorter articles from Latvian into English. I am quite familiar with English legal, medical and insurance terminology.
