Approach

My goal is to connect you with your Ukrainian audience by maintaining the clarity of your message and taking into account its cultural nuances. I enjoy conducting thorough research and I ask my clients questions to fully understand the source material and deliver results that are perfectly tailored to their needs. An important aspect of my work is providing a translation that flows naturally and doesn't sound like a translation.

I am technically savvy and happy to utilize CAT tools; for example, I have SDL Trados Studio 2019 and am familiar with XTM, Phrase, and Smartling. If you'd like me to use another tool, I'm flexible and adaptable. Committed to continuous development, I always strive to enhance my skills and grow professionally. In short, I am dedicated to delivering high-quality translations that resonate with your target audience, and I look forward to assisting you with your language needs.
