Greetings! Ever since I began my career as a freelance translator in 2002, I have not had a single dissatisfied customer. In the past few years I have worked for a number of clients in Russia, USA, and Europe. Before I joined the community of freelancers I worked for about seven years in well-known international companies such as Nestle and Japan Tobacco International. One of my major responsibilities there was translating contracts, business and financial reports, presentations, and other company documentation. Through these jobs I have acquired valuable experience and an understanding of the business world which helps me a great deal in my current occupation. I also worked for several months in a small firm based in Santa Monica, CA during my stay in Los Angeles for about nine months in 2005/2006.
