I’m a Russian native legal translator and language professional with 15+ years of in-house and freelance experience, working across English, Czech, and Portuguese to Russian. My background includes legal translation for major law firms and careful, guidelines-driven language work, along with teaching Czech as a foreign language and helping learners build correct speech patterns through practical materials. Alongside translation, I’ve developed strong expertise in annotation and review for speech and AI training data (including RLHF and transcription accuracy checks) in Russian and English. I’m also a teaching enthusiast and creator (phrasecat.com), and I enjoy being proactive, fast to learn, and detail-oriented—whether I’m reviewing recordings for grammatical correctness or supporting projects that require consistency, reliability, and clear communication.
