About Me

Olga - in Russian
This is my name “Olga” in Russian / Cyrillic text.
What looks like a lowercase “b” is a soft sign.


Okay, so this is where the pertinent information is supposed to go. I am originally from Estonia, a former Soviet republic. I grew up when our country was still controlled by the USSR. After communism crumbled, we were left looking for something to believe in, as our utopian society didn’t exactly work out. My whole family came to faith in Christ during the early 1990’s, and my dad is now an ordained UMC pastor.

This led me to travel to the USA to study religion. After college, I went to grad school where I met my husband. I am now a graduate of the Master of Arts in Counseling program of Asbury Theological Seminary, and am working on certification to become a licensed professional counselor.

Occasionally, I do translation work for ministries by taking English sermon audio, videos or curriculum and transcribing them into Russian. In my spare time, I enjoy taking and seeing photography and watching mystery movies with my husband. I am also a big fan of the TV series called LOST.
