Greetings, my name is Oksana, and I am your Ukrainian/English Interpreter. I would like to furnish you with some details regarding my life. How I have ended up writing this scenario is a wonder in itself.
I was born in England 52 years ago to Ukrainian Parents, who emigrated from Western Ukraine. In this bilingual home, I was brought up with Ukrainian and English culture, religion, language and a European outlook on life. I graduated in Ukrainian and English, and with that knowledge and expertise, I translated on a personal level for over 30 years within the Ukrainian and English community in England. My work history has been in Management in the Hotel Industry and then for 8 years within the counselling/social area for the Government.
I have had the opportunity to visit on several occasions the former USSR (Russia and Ukraine), and have a deep respect for both cultures. It has always been my ambition to utilize my skills and develop my bilingual assets. Because of my personal experience and knowledge in cultural and language differences, I would like to share my knowledge and expertise to help people achieve a better way of life!
3 years ago I emigrated to Canada. During that period I discovered my hidden talent of writing poetry. I then had the sincerely great good fortune of meeting Tamara - your Russian/English interpreter. Because of our similar backgrounds, although from opposite sides of the world, yet neighbours in truth by language, we soon found we had a mutual understanding of the need to utilize our talents and experiences in life. With Tamara having lived in the Ukraine, and then emigrating to Canada, I feel that together we form an excellent partnership in sharing our knowledge and talents.
With that the seeds of "Sunflower Translation Service" were sown.
Thank you for sharing your time, and I shall now hand you over to Tamara, who is your Russian/English interpreter. Oksana
