Description

I am a native Azeri (Azerbaijani) and Russian speaker and a near-native speaker of Turkish with over 20 years of experience in translation and cultural research. As a linguist and a cultural researcher, I am aware of unique cultural and social norms of the geographies in which these languages are spoken, and incorporate them in my work. Some highlights of my work:

- Award-winning author of cookbook, Pomegranates and Saffron: A Culinary Journey to Azerbaijan (1st Ed.2014, 2nd Ed.2015), written based on seven years of research of the country’s food scene and culture.
- Speaker on culture topics at different venues, such as libraries, cultural centers and private events. Spoke at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., March 2017.
- Over 20 articles and interviews on topics of culture published in Azerbaijan International Magazine, recent article in Visions of Azerbaijan Magazine.

I translate across a wide range of industries, including, Legal, Health Care, Government, Culture, Arts and Humanities, Tourism and Hospitality, Education, Marketing, Human Resources, Life Science, Media and Entertainment. I've also founded my own translation company, ZEALingua, where we work with all major languages. Please see my resume for more details.
