I am a specialist Russian-English insurance translator offering a full range of services to enable you to understand your business partners better.

My knowledge of Russian springs from a passion for the language.

I was lucky enough to be able to start studying Russian in my early teens, enabling me to lay a solid and secure foundation for degree and post-graduate studies. My passion for the language was the impetus behind my two periods of residence in Russia: five months in Rostov on Don as assistant professor of English at Rostov University in 1991, and 2½ years in Moscow 1998-2001 working for Aon Insurance Brokers.

Living in Russia among the Russians through these two post-crisis periods has given me a unique insight into the culture. These periods of residence, continued contact with my Russian friends and regular travel to the post-Soviet region has helped me to maintain my near native fluency in spoken Russian.
