I grew up in Russia and my first step towards acquiring skills for international communication was my linguistic studies (English and German as a foreign language). I spent the first two years of my career teaching English as a private tutor before I decided to expand my horizons abroad. In Germany I  continued my higher education taking up postgraduate MBA studies with the focus on international management. That became a turning point and a facilitator of my career in Germany. With 10 years’ hands-on experience in a wide range of corporate roles I decided 2016 to start up my own business. Since 2009 I constantly extend my skills as a legal translator. That paved the way to my successful passing the state exam and becoming a publicly appointed and sworn translator.
