About me

I am a cultural expert and am highlighting fascinating, little-known, unheard or forgotten stories of cross-cultural history and language that help us connect.
I am a linguist and I am passionate about interaction of languages and cultures, psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics. I teach language and culture courses.
I am a professional translator and interpreter and work mainly with English, Russian, French, Moldavian, Romanian and Ukrainian, Old Slavonic and Latin languages. Having connections with translators of over 100 languages I coordinate large multilingual projects such as translation of books, brochures and websites.
