About

With a strong foundation in translation and library sciences, I have cultivated a diverse career spanning over a decade. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Assistant Translation from People's Ukrainian Academy and a Specialist degree in Book Publishing Management from Kharkiv State Academy of Culture. My professional journey began as a Librarian at Korolenko Kharkiv State Scientific Library, where I managed collections and assisted patrons. I later transitioned into translation, working as a Technical Translator and Independent Translator, where I honed my skills in delivering precise and culturally sensitive translations. Returning to the Korolenko Library, I continued to enhance library resources and engage with the community through event organization. My experience reflects a commitment to fostering knowledge accessibility and effective communication across languages and cultures.
