Ivan Borshchevsky
My name is Ivan Borshchevsky and I live in Russia. I was born on April 19, 1975. I went through a course in technical translating in 1992 during my last year at school. Then I studied linguistics and psychology in Pyatygorsk State Linguistics University. My degree thesis was named “Teaching Hearing Impaired Children a Foreign Language: Psychology, Principles and Methods”. I used to work as a school psychologist for a couple of years and then entered Stavropol State Medical Academy to study clinical psychology. I graduated from the Academy in 2003 with a first-class honors degree and worked as a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist in children’s sanatorium. At the same time I began working as a medical translator (English and Russian) and interpreter (Russian Sign Language). And now translating/interpreting is my main occupation. I’m also a short story writer and one of my stories was nominated for a “Writer of Year 2011” Award.
