Inna Kolomiiets

Description

My name is Inna Kolomiiets. I'm a Calgary-based English-to-Ukrainian translator and interpreter. I have a Master's degree in International Relations and Translation Studies from my native country, Ukraine. I started as a freelance translator in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2016, translating the website 'Wonderful Indonesia' for the Ministry of Tourism of Indonesia.

After arriving in Canada in 2022, I started another life-changing journey: becoming a Community Interpreter. I completed the Labour Market Bridging Program (LMB) for Community Interpreters from CIWA (Calgary Immigrant Women's Association) in September 2023. As a successful recipient of the Ron Ghitter Scholarship in October 2023, I pursue further my education in these fields.

I specializes in business, marketing, tourism. Currently, I'm an active Community interpreter in Calgary. I have strong ethical integrity and I take pride in everything I do.

I continue to fulfil my passion for interpreting, helping non-profit organizations of Calgary to craft a seamless dialogue with Ukrainian new immigrants by interpreting settlement sessions, medical appointments, parents - students conferences, consultations at legal clinics, training sessions at warehouses and construction companies etc.
