Laura Hechtlinger \u201812"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: left\">Since graduating in 2012 with a double major in Russian and History, I&#8217;ve been working as a Research and Administrative Intern at the Center on National Security at Fordham Law School in New York City. My work has focused primarily on event planning; we host a variety of conferences and panel discussions on topics related to national security and the law, which I&#8217;ve had the opportunity to be involved with. This past summer I was also able to focus more on different research projects being done by the Center, mostly in relation to domestic terrorism trials. Outside my work at CNS, I&#8217;ve spent some of my free time doing freelance translations. I&#8217;ve found contractors independently online, through sites such as <a href=\"http:\/\/odesk.com\/\">odesk.com<\/a> \u00a0and <a href=\"http:\/\/elance.com\/\">elance.com<\/a>,\u00a0and I\u2019ve worked with them to complete different Russian to English translation projects. My largest project so far has been a translation of an educational language-learning website, where I translated the \u201cAbout\u201d and \u201cFAQ\u201d sections (about 50 pages of text). The Workshop in Translation I took my senior year at Dickinson was definitely vital in preparing me for the translations I&#8217;ve done so far. Also, I spent the past few weeks working at the US Open tennis championship, where I had the chance to speak with a lot of visitors and tennis players from all over the world, including Russia! As you\u2019ll see in the photo, over New Year\u2019s I reunited with fellow Russian major, Michael Hoke \u201812.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/10\/Picture-15.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-224 alignleft\" alt=\"Picture 15\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/10\/Picture-15-224x300.png\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/10\/Picture-15-224x300.png 224w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/10\/Picture-15-183x245.png 183w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/files\/2013\/10\/Picture-15.png 342w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since graduating in 2012 with a double major in Russian and History, I&#8217;ve been working as a Research and Administrative [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1849,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85079],"tags":[113,1877],"class_list":["post-223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-where-are-they-now","tag-alumni","tag-russian","first-post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1849"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/russian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
