Medical bilingual visa-free escort from Anchorage to Odessa.
As a registered nurse and interpreter I accompanied a man injured at sea after his surgeries and treatment in the US back to his hometown in Ukraine. ANP Shipping, the maritime agency that took care of the sailor's needs and the Providence hospital's personnel where patient was treated, chose me for that role because of my experience as a medical professional and a linguist. Due to my dual citizenship, Russian and American, I did not need a visa for that trip. I accompanied my client all the way from Anchorage to Odessa with landings in Seattle, Amsterdam and Budapest.

Russian to English: Why do I like being a translator?
Source text - Russian Когда я закончила в 1989 г. учебу в Дальневосточном Государственном Университете во Владивостоке и стала радиожурналистом Хабаровского Краевого Радио, я была зачарована новыми веяниями перестройки √ в частности, ускоренным развитием международных отношений России с другими странами. Так как это явилось совершенно новой темой в журналистике, то мне, молодому репортеру, везло достаточно часто в освещении темы международных отношений, возникающих на территории Хабаровского края. И, конечно, первоначально во время интервью с иностранными собеседниками мне приходилось зависить, и полагаться на помощь переводчиков. В основном, они исполняли свою работу хорошо, однако, я знала, что порой многие мелкие детали и нюансы разговора, которые так важны в работе журналиста, иногда терялись из-за не совсем полного и аккуратного перевода.
Я поняла, что в работе переводчика может быть и другой, более качественный, подход, я решила, что сама хотела бы стать переводчиком. Прежде всего, я хотела быть способной брать интервью у иностранных специалистов, артистов, туристов... самостоятельно на их собственном языке. И я хотела стать таким переводчиком, который смог бы передавать не только основную идею разговора, но также иметь талант правильно доносить смысл какой-либо маленькой шутки или анекдота, каждого намека, или игры слов, используемых в разговоре.┘ Вот так это все началось. И это как раз то, что я люблю в профессии переводчика больше всего √ иметь способность выполнять аккуратный перевод, при этом сохраняя весомость и значение происходящих разговоров между людьми на всех возможных уровнях с передачей всех цветов и оттенков в речи международных партнеров.
Translation - English When I graduated from the Far Eastern State University of Vladivostok in 1989 and gained my start as a radio-reporter in Khabarovsk, I was fascinated with the latest, especially rapid development of international relations linking Russia and the world. Since it was a totally fresh theme for Russian journalism during the Perestroika times, I was fortunate to cover International relations in Khabarovsk Region regularly. Initially, when I was interviewing foreign speakers, I had to depend on translators. In general, they did a fine job translating, however, I experienced that sometimes occasional small details and subtleties of a conversation (that are so important in a journalist▓s job) were lost with respect to imprecise or incomplete interpreting.
Realizing that there could be an enhanced approach to interpretation, I wanted to become a ground-breaking translator. Most of all, I looked toward interviewing foreign specialists, artists, tourists, etc. for exclusive up-to-the minutes, in their own language. I wished to become an interpreter that would be able to convey not only core ideas, but also be proficient in providing significance for each little joke, every suggestion, even subtle engagements that were used in conversation. This is how it all started, what I enjoy, and find the most rewarding about my translating job. In a nutshell, I go all-out to perform accurate and seamless translations, while maintaining meaningful conversation, additionally preserving all the colors or shades of speech expressed between people of the international population.

Please allow me to introduce myself. Honestly, not to be too vainglorious, but I should say, I would be a perfect candidate for most of the interpreting jobs. I have lots of interpreting/translating experience in areas of business, military, government, medicine, etc. My Russian language is excellent probably due to the master's degree in Journalism, and work as a radio-journalist. I also have a degree in medical field as a Registered Nurse. My rich experience allows me to have an extensive knowledge diapason, critical thinking skills, working ethics and good communication skills on any social level.
Moreover, geographical boundaries for me do not matter. I do live in California, but if needed, I will be happy to pay for my own airfare to any other state, if my services of Russian Interpreter will be needed for the period of at least 5 days. I had done it before. As a matter of fact I even paid for my airfare, and was interpreting in Cannes, France during the international forum “MIPIM 2008” on economic development and investments, and I received good feedback from the clients. You could read comments from them and from my other happy customers on my website under the tab “What people say”.
