ABOUT ME
Did your message ever get lost in translation?
You are only as good as your translator. If you expect highest quality service, reliability and confidentiality, you have come to the right place. I am a professional freelance interpreter/translator in the following language pairs: Lithuanian-English, English-Lithuanian and Russian-English.
During my 20 year career in publishing, PHARE programmes, Security Department of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Lithuania and freelance projects, I have mastered the technical subtleties in a broad spectrum of fields, from economics to poetry. For more details, please refer to PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE page. My SERVICES include: simultaneous/consecutive interpretation, written translations, proofreading and sound recording.
I especially enjoy the challenge of simultaneous/consecutive interpretation. I pride myself on proper preparation: getting acquainted not only with provided materials but also with the relevant topic of discussion, so your message will not get lost in translation! References available upon request.
I currently specialize in the following subject areas:
EU and national legal documents, social security, politics, construction, transport and communications, agriculture, business management, education, culture, arts.
SERVICES
Simultaneous interpretation
during conferences, workshops, training courses, etc. I can work both in Lithuania and abroad. Since simultaneous interpretation is always done by two translators, I can assure the recruitment of highly professional colleagues.
Consecutive interpretation
during business meetings, workshops, press conferences, etc.
Written translations
in the areas of EU and national legal documents, social security, politics, construction, transport and communications, agriculture, business management, education, culture, arts.
Sound recording
I‘ve recorded quite a number of documentary and instructional films. This is one my favourite activities and I‘m looking forward to new challenges.
