What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote or hybrid roles in medical and general interpreting/translation where I can apply medical knowledge, HIPAA-compliant practice, and CAT-tool expertise while supporting empathetic, client-focused teams.

I am a detail-oriented Ukrainian interpreter and translator with over six years of experience in translation, localization, copywriting and linguistic analysis, offering native Ukrainian and near-native English proficiency.

I have interpreted and translated across medical, legal and social services contexts, handling more than 700 successful calls and supporting over 1,400 people to overcome language and cultural barriers, including high-pressure situations such as labor, emergency rooms and multi-party calls.

I combine strong interpersonal skills, medical terminology knowledge and HIPAA-aware practice with proficiency in CAT tools (SDL Trados, MemoQ), video-conferencing platforms and Microsoft Office to deliver accurate, reliable language services for remote and in-person assignments.
