My translation work has sharpened my linguistic skills and deepened my appreciation for the intricacies of language, which I incorporate into my teaching methods. One of my greatest strengths as an educator is my ability to make complex concepts accessible and engaging. My students appreciate my interactive and supportive approach, which fosters both understanding and confidence in using the Russian language. Outside of my professional life, I am an avid hiker and enjoy immersing myself in nature, which helps me stay balanced and inspired.
