Serbian Translators in Illinois

When I immigrated to the United States at the age of fifteen I did not speak any other language but Serbian, my mother tongue. Within two years of living in the United States, I was able to learn and become fluent in both English and Spanish and am able to translate between the three languages paired in any way. I have a passion and a talent for learning foreign languages and I have used my talent continuously at my previous jobs to translate/interpret for the upper management in negotiating business deals on a global scale. Based on the above, I strongly feel and believe that I would be a great asset to your organization.

My experience includes 4 years living in Croatia, where, as the translation and interpretation coordinator for the European Community Monitor Mission, my responsibilities included translating a wide variety of general and specialized texts from Croatian into English and vice-versa, consecutive and escort interpreting, managing a 10-member translation team, editing, and proofreading. In addition, I developed and implemented interpreter role-play training scenarios and tested and trained all interpreter and translator candidates for the ECMM’s large roster of freelancers. I have also lived in Germany and studied business and economics (in German) as well as German language at the University of Kiel. As in-house technical documentation staff for a German-owned US company for 10 years, I have extensive experience translating technical specifications, operations manuals and research reports relating to industrial equipment, as well as advertising materials, financial and legal documents, and news articles.

I have been translating Serbian all my life. My parents hardly knew English when they came to America. I grew up in America and my English is superb! My Serbian skills are also grand because I have translated all my life. I would love to have an opportunity to represent both countries as a translator!

I am a native speaker and can help in translations from Serbian to English, Bosnian to English, and vice versa. I have been helping clients with their translation needs for many years while working as an insurance agent in Chicago. I can help with translating documents, filling out applications, explanation of complicated terminology and much more. I graduated university with top grades and would be willing to offer assistance with essays and university related documentation.

20 years of experience in Croatian interpretation. I also provide translation and interpretation in German, Bosinian, Macedonian, and Serbian.
