From: Anastassia Ash
Hello everyone, I am
very pleased to introduce myself. I am a professional
English and Russian Translator and Interpreter, as well as a
professional teacher of English as a second language.
I was born in Moscow,
Russia to my father Sergey and Mother Ludmila, both top-notch
translators and interpreters. From a young age they
invested their time and energy into me, tutoring me with English
as a second language, humanities, literature and languages. I am very much obliged to them for
my level of expertise today.
They instilled in me
my core sense of values, especially in understanding the value
of a good education. Throughout English biased grade school and
university I was consistently at the top of my class. I
graduated in 1998 with Honors from the
Institute for Foreign
Languages in Moscow,
majors being English, Psycholinguistics, Psychology, Translation
among others. See the
Resume
Page for details on my credentials. I also spent some
time in Great Britain and earned my Certificate of the English
Language from
Cambridge University.
Following in my
parent's footsteps, I went into the field of Foreign Language
Instruction and Interpretation. Throughout my career I
have dedicated myself to excellence and customer satisfaction.
In 2000 I married a
US citizen and moved to Seattle, WA. Having lived in the
USA since then, I have grown accustomed to and familiar with
American culture. The knowledge of both Russian and
American societies has given me valuable experience when dealing
with customers from both countries who wish to communicate with
each other. Not only does this help me with translation
and instruction, but also as a consultant on the idiosyncrasies
and cultural
differences between the two countries.
When I moved to the
US I became a member of the
Russian Women List and other
International Marriage Discussion Groups (see the
Contact
page for their links). It helped my husband and me to
learn some useful information about the sometimes overwhelming
process of finding a future spouse in a foreign country.
My mother
Ludmila works with me to provide quality Translations to our
valued clients. You can read about
her here on this page below.
Best regards,
