What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values communication and collaboration, offering opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in translation and interpretation, specializing in Russian, English, and Turkish languages. My career spans over 15 years, during which I have successfully translated a wide range of materials, including legal documents, corporate reports, and educational content. I pride myself on maintaining confidentiality and delivering high-quality translations that meet the needs of my clients.

In addition to my translation work, I am a licensed psychologist with a proven track record of facilitating individual and group counseling sessions. My approach is evidence-based, and I have developed workshops that have received a 95% satisfaction rate. I am passionate about helping individuals overcome challenges, particularly in educational settings, where I have successfully coached students to achieve their goals.

My involvement in international events, such as the World Firefighter Games, showcases my ability to coordinate and communicate effectively in high-pressure situations. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, currently pursuing a master's degree in psychology while actively contributing to the field through my work.
