mission
My goal as a language provider is to facilitate communication, be it written or verbal, in a variety of settings. Language access should almost be seamless, participants in a meeting or conference should forget at some point that they do not speak the same language. Readers should never feel like they're reading a translation. That's what we strive to accomplish.
My areas of specialization as a language professional include:
​​
-
Conference Interpretation
-
Political events

Diplomatic interpretation

Legal Interpretation

Translation for art and cultural organizations

Editing, writing
