What I'm looking for

I seek remote roles leveraging my translation, subtitling and content-creation expertise in collaborative, deadline-driven teams that value linguistic accuracy, cultural nuance and creative problem-solving.

I am a seasoned translator, writer and educator with over 30 years' professional experience across English, Russian and Azerbaijani languages. I specialise in legal, financial, media and creative translation as well as subtitling and transcription.

I have delivered high-quality, deadline-driven work for organisations including the Milli Majlis, Unibank, Productive Playhouse and VERO Translation, and I currently blog for Savalan Aspi Winery. My work combines linguistic precision with cultural nuance to support domestic and international communications.

My background in psychology (MBA and Candidate of Sciences) and creative writing (Maxim Gorky Institute, Gotham Writers' Workshop) enriches my approach to translation, teaching and content creation, and I regularly apply prompt engineering and AI tools to enhance productivity while ensuring human-authored output.

I excel in teaching and tutoring, having prepared students for international study and achieved strong exam pass rates, and I seek remote collaborations where I can contribute multilingual expertise, creative storytelling and reliable, timely delivery.
