Background |
|
I have experience workiing both as an in-house translator of German/Russian into English and as a freelance translator translating a wide variety of documents from technical manuals for the automotive industry through financial documents and annual reports to promotional material for multinational companies and prestigious events. I have a very wide general knowledge which stems from varied work experience before starting my career in translation: this includes working in the accounts department of a well-known concrete company, English language teaching, market research, health-promotion, catering and floristry. I also have a sound background in IT with basic practical knowledge of programming and a keen interest in artificial intelligence and data mining. When I'm not translating, I spend most of my time working within the entertainment world, providing technical support for indoor and outdoor events. Although I mainly deal with lighting, sound, pyrotechnics and set design & construction......... I have also trodden the boards once or twice myself. In addition I have a keen interest in sports and outdoor activities in general and have worked as an Outdoor Activity instructor teaching children the art of rock climbing, abseiling, quad biking and the like.
