About me

I was born in Latvia, in Liepaja - one of the most beautiful cities in the Baltic States.
The place is loved by lots of people of art, it has been inspiring them by its unique spirit.
After finishing a special course in high school, where languages, literature, history, and social science were the main subjects, I entered the Department of Foreign Languages at the Latvian University and combined studies with the teacher's work and translating.
Later I realised that translations bring more satisfaction and concentrated on this kind of work.
Since then, I have completed a technical training course for translators and linguists, and a course in business and project management, and do not stop upgrading my expertise to provide the best quality of work and deliver your expectations.
