I'm a Russian-English CoreCHI™ and WA DSHS-certified medical and social services interpreter based in Seattle, Washington. I also hold an MA in Business Management and I'm certified as both an English and a Russian language instructor with more than 10 years of teaching experience. I have found a way to share my passion for the interpreting profession through teaching interpreting workshops and writing in The Medical Interpreter Blog, which focuses on providing medical interpreters with resources and information for continuous professional development. In addition, I share useful resources and relevant news in her Facebook group, Interpreters and Translators in Washington State, which welcomes interpreters working in the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere to join and participate in this wonderful online community!
