Hi there, I’m a linguist.

I love to use languages in my personal and professional life to achieve my goals.

My main job is running russiaSLAM, a website that combines my interest in journalism and Russia with my linguistic skills, but I pay the bills by teaching English in some of Russia’s biggest companies, both domestic and international.

When I’m not working, I blog occasionally on Spilt Inc., or on this site, and take photos with digital and film cameras, listen to music, and play with web design and development.

  • I believe that the meaning of life is communication, and sharing with others.
  • I value building great, mutually beneficial relationships with others.
  • I work hard to communicate information and ideas to others in my professional and my personal life.

If you are passionate about communication too, get in touch.
