What I'm looking for

I’m looking for interpreter/translation work where I can deliver consecutive and simultaneous interpretation and precise written translation—ideally in medical, humanitarian, or security contexts—with a team that values clear communication.

I provide written translation and consecutive and simultaneous interpretation for complex, high-stakes environments. I’ve worked across humanitarian, medical, and military contexts, supporting meetings, trainings, conferences, and on-the-ground communication.

In my current role as an Interpreter for “Doctors Without Borders - MSF-Spain” and the “International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent,” I handle documentation, interpret during discussions, and support administrative tasks including organizing meetings and assisting with report writing.

Since 2020, I’ve also served as a Military Interpreter with “Worldwide Language Resources,” “Linguists Connect,” “The HALO Trust,” and “SIA Skrivanek Baltic,” delivering consecutive and simultaneous interpretation during training operations of the British Armed Forces “Orbital” and Canadian Armed Forces “Unifier.” Alongside this, I freelance as a medical and legal interpreter for telephone and video calls.

I bring strong translation capabilities as a freelance translator/interpreter, including localization and transcription/creation of English–Ukrainian/Russian subtitles. I’m comfortable with CAT-tools (Trados, Polyglot, Memsource, memoQ) and subtitling workflows (Eegisub), and I also have experience in logistics coordination, copywriting/journalism, and teaching English.
