Hi, my name is Olia, I was born and grew up in Russia and I am currently living and working in Italy. I have always considered foreign languages a very interesting field. I graduated from Rostov State Pedagogical University in 2006 earning my degree in translation and studying foreign languages in the University of Pisa helped me to master and improve my Italian. I am glad to make part of Global Voices translators’ team and contribute in spreading usuful and interesting information and at the same time having chance to improve my translation skills.
