SERVICES

What I can do for you
I provide language interpretation (oral translation) from German to English and from English to German. I speak both languages at a native level, without foreign accent.

How I do it
I can interpret simultaneously, talking at the same time as the speakers — either by using conference-interpreting equipment or (for small groups) by whispering. And I can interpret consecutively, while the speakers pause. I also do sight interpreting (oral translation of documents).

Where do you need me?
Based in Chicago, I’m available to travel within the US as well as internationally to work on site, wherever your event takes place. I can also interpret remotely, via Internet conferencing or telephone.

I can facilitate a wide range of events across many sectors:

      Legal       Depositions • Trials • Hearings • Interviews • Document Reviews

      Government, Politics, NGOs       Conventions • Conferences • Speeches
