A professional translator and reviewer with creative writing skills. 6+ years of professional experience (got into the business somewhere around September 2011). I'm not bilingual, despite some flattering attempts to call me that, but my written English is pretty close to that of a native speaker. I mainly work in the English to Russian language pair and specialize in general and marketing texts.
