What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging multilingual translation, localization and AI training where I can deliver high-quality, culturally accurate content and grow in cross-functional, collaborative teams.

I am a multilingual translator and creative author with extensive experience in localization, subtitling, dubbing, and transcreation across film, gaming, fintech and web content. I combine linguistic accuracy with creative adaptation to produce culturally appropriate, high-quality content in Russian, Swedish, English and German.

My background includes freelance and in-house roles delivering translations, copywriting, editing and project support for international clients, plus hands-on work in AI training, annotation and data labeling for large language models. I have repeatedly achieved top-quality scores (100%) on platform evaluations and managed multi-language content delivery for major IT and travel companies.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language and bring strong operations and localization project experience, a focus on quality control and a pragmatic, collaborative approach to cross-cultural communication and product adaptation.
