About me

Good interpreting goes beyond words

Simultaneous interpretation is profoundly human work. It requires cultural awareness, sensitivity to tone, context and intent — as well as the ability to make decisions in a fraction of a second.

Years of experience in the booth sharpen an interpreter’s ability to perceive what lies beyond the words: to read the room, pick up on body language and the speaker’s tone, understand what is at stake, and preserve the voice and intent of the person speaking. It is this judgment, shaped through practice and genuine engagement across cultures, that gives simultaneous interpretation its deeply human character.
