Ellis Mari Bambela
@ellismaribambela
Multilingual translator, editor, and language instructor specializing in AI-assisted localization.
What I'm looking for
I am a multilingual translator, editor, and language instructor with over three years of experience delivering high-quality translations, interpretation, and educational services across Russian, English, and French. I combine traditional CAT/MTPE tools with large-language-model workflows to produce accurate, culturally sensitive content for legal, political, and human-rights contexts.
I have translated 100k+ words of political, legal, and human-rights materials, including a major report on 11 years of Crimea’s occupation, and delivered live Russian–English interpretation in healthcare, business, and legal settings. I also design engaging language curricula and have guided students to measurable improvement, such as raising a student from failing to a 77% final grade.
As a proactive coordinator and volunteer leader, I have organized academic events for up to 150 attendees, managed logistics and merchandise distribution, and worked effectively with cross-functional teams. I seek opportunities where I can apply my localization expertise, editorial precision, and instructional experience to make an impact.
