Bilgà Entèprèt yo nan Puerto Rico

I've been a freelance professional linguist for more than 25 years with a broad range of expertise in translation and interpreting. I've been a contract interpreter and translator for the US Department of State for 18 years.

I have over 25 years of experience as a Russian interpreter and translator. I have worked with a large variety of terminology and in various settings. I am a contract translator and interpreter with the U.S. State Department and a Registered Court Interpreter in California. I hold an MA degree in English Philology with specialization in translation and interpreting from St. Kliment Ohridski of Sofia, Bulgaria and an MBA with concentration in finance from California State University at Northridge, CA, an accredited graduate MBA program.

I am seeking opportunities to employ my proficiency in Bulgarian and English languages for bi-directional translation of documents or for simultaneous interpretation. I was born and received my education, including my PhD degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences in Bulgaria. Therefore, I consider my Bulgarian language skills excellent. Also in Bulgaria I received my initial training in English for reading and writing of science publications, reading novels and entertainment journals, for oral presentations of research findings at international science conferences, and for adequate communication with other English-speaking counterparts. Over 16 years now I have been living and working in the USA, and have been excelling my English language skills to the level where reciprocal translation between English and Bulgarian has become an effortless, precise and fluent act. My professional career is in the field of biochemistry, biology, medicine, pharmaceuticals and toxicology, and these are my preferred areas for translation or interpretation. There are also other areas in which my terminology is also very strong and I would appreciate the opportunities to discuss them with you.

Though English is my native language, I have been fluent in Russian all my life. I was raised and educated in the U.S., completed my studies in Moscow, where I worked for seven years, and after returning to New York, divide my time between NY and Moscow. I have been a professional translator/interpreter for 20 years, engaged in publising, advertising, East European studies, and the hotel/resort industry. I work with OmegaT as translation memory.

I have more than 25 years experience as a translator and interpreter at high-level meetings, seminars and conferences. I have worked in many areas: government, international affairs, finance, peacekeeping, military acquisition systems, agriculture, biotechnology, environment protection and policy, law and religious freedom, criminal justice, immigration, law enforcement, emergency management, energy security, food safety, arts management, journalism, infrastructure, housing, regional development, etc. I would appreciate if you consider me for any jobs involving the Bulgarian language. I enjoy working as translator and interpreter and would very much like to use my language skills to the fullest extent possible.
