About Me

Hi there! I’m Anna, a freelance translator (English and German into Russian), SEO specialist and a happy expat. I have been a full-time freelancer since 2016, before that I spent 5 years in a marketing role in the UK looking after marcomms and marketing research.

Why work with me?

Having been in a marketing manager’s shoes, I understand the process and the challenges of creating and optimising content in different languages. I understand the dynamic of working with graphic designers, webmasters and digital agencies.

I also know that you might not have a Russian speaker in your company who could read through the translation, so you need a trustworthy and reliable translation partner who understands your goals, your product or service, and can clearly communicate your value proposition to your target audience.

Credentials

My education background is both in languages and marketing: a linguistics degree from the Oxford Brookes University and a Professional Diploma in Marketing from the Chartered Institute of Marketing.

In 2018, I also passed the certification exam by the American Translators Association (ATA). Why should you care about certifications? Two reasons, really. With the pass rate for my language pair of only 15%, the certification is an endorsement of translator’s cultural and linguistic expertise in their target language. Plus, in order to maintain the certification, translators have to complete professional development on an ongoing basis.
