Elena Harrison

Elena would spend hours looking over foreign-language textbooks back when she was a little girl. Come to think of it, this is still her favorite past time, the only difference being that the textbooks have been replaced by the little green owl Duolingo. Elena has always known that bridging the cross-cultural gap and helping people from different countries understand each other better is her true calling. After graduating with a master's degree in Linguistics, Translation, and Intercultural Communication in her native Voronezh, Russia, she moved to the Golden Isles in the United States and started working as a freelance translator back in 2005. In 2007, she joined forces with her husband Chris - and this was how Brave New Worlds was born. In her free time, Elena loves hanging out with her 3 children, traveling, writing and belly-dancing. 

Christopher Harrison

A native of London, Chris moved to the United States with his family when he was 6 years old. Caught between the two cultures, a "misfit" of sorts, Chris has always thought of himself as a citizen of the world. He spent many years trotting the globe and playing music, having visited over 40 countries on his journey. Being a songwriter and composer, Chris has a real way with words. He can make any translation sound as if it was originally written in English, and he can also create quite captivating copyright content. With 10 years of voiceover experience, Chris has worked in film, advertising, theater, and education. His versatile skills allow him to deliver engaging performances that resonate with audiences, providing high-quality voice tailored to client needs. Chris loves traveling, especially exploring the American West, playing music and spending time with his family.

Catherine Dussault

Catherine has always been fascinated by words and the stories they tell, so it's no surprise she chose a path that led her to play with words all day long. She now has somehow combined her passions - stories, video games and languages—into her career. And she thinks it's pretty awesome!

Marco Bonello

In his early years, Marco was a hippy of sorts and traveled around the world. On his return to Italy in 1983, he decided it was time to grow up. Marco was already fluent in English and French, and he had always loved foreign languages—so studying to become a translator seemed to be a reasonable career choice. Today, at the age of 60, he has a rather extensive professional background, which ranges from interpreting at top-management meetings to working on several  international cooperation projects. He is deeply committed to facilitating cross-cultural dialogue in his hometown in Italy,  loves practicing Tai Chi Chuan, and is a cooking enthusiast.
