What I Offer
Interpreting
English<>Spanish<>French -> Dutch and Papiamento
Are you looking for a native English or Spanish speaker to accompany you at your next conference?
Based in Geneva, with a Masters in International Studies and Diplomacy and a four-year work history at a Permanent Mission to the UNOG, you can expect nothing less than flawless interpreting on my end.
Since 2006, I have interpreted at presidential summits, golf championships, human rights conferences, and international delegations, among others.
If you want to certify a successful event with the possibility of developing new partnerships and propositions, I can help make that happen.
Legal documents, company articles, scripts, websites, medical records – you name it, I can translate it.
From banks to oil companies, social organizations to embassies, I’ve spent the last 14 years helping companies, corporations, and individuals with their communications.
Today, communication is what matters most. It enables you to connect with partners and consumers. It gives you the power to tell your story, right. Above all, it gives you and others a voice to forge formidable relationships and implement changes, whether socially, politically, or economically.
You can deliver your document/s to me in confidence and expect the most accurate and faithful translation sent back in return.
