Larissa is based in Moscow. She has been part of our team since graduating from the Faculty of Modern Languages at Kostroma State University

Larissa is involved in both translation and interpreting and it is the interpreting side of the business that she enjoys most. “I love meeting people and help them communicate to do business together. Interpreting is very interesting, even though it can be stressful at times. As long as the client is happy in the end, perhaps after very tough negotiations, this is what matters,” she says. In her leisure time Larissa enjoys ballroom dancing.
