Background

BACKGROUND

A graduate from the Yerevan State Linguistic University, I have been working as an employed or freelance translator since 1998. Being deeply involved in the business of translation as an accredited senior translator, I’ve been providing my clients with accurate, on-time and versatile translations, simultaneous and consecutive day-long interpretations as well as discreet editing and proof-reading. Since I was profoundly interested in the art of translation, I made sure through intensive training to gain a sound knowledge base, both theoretical and practical, prior to engaging in professional translation.

Years of experience have honed my translation skills to ensure all-around professionalism and a stable list of regular clients. With no client dissatisfied, I keep perfecting my knowledge and skills taking translation to the next level. True to my principles, however, I never take a project beyond my turnaround time or qualifications.

 

Collaborations with a wide range of foreign companies and professionals have further fostered my experience giving me valuable insight into the inner world of translation. Analytical thinking combined with strong translation skills provide my clients with uncompromising quality.
