"I'm very grateful to Carol for her work at the G20 Summit in 2018. Besides her excellent translation and interpretation standards, she was calm under pressure, very flexible when it came to last-minute requests, and always ready to help. We were delighted to have her as part of our team for such an intense 3 day event."
"Carol translated and proofread nomination materials for the Equator Prize 2017 for us as a UN Volunteer. We were very pleased with her results. She accommodated several last minute changes, adding to the complexity of the task at hand. She turned around her assignment quickly and with eye for detail. We are looking forward to working with her again in the future."

Software Solutions
I work with the following software to ensure the best results:
Interpreting
Translation of verbal communication from English into Spanish, and from Spanish into English
When you hire the services of a professional interpreter, you ensure that all the effort put into organizing your activity or event will pay off.
-
I relay your message in the other language, making sure that nothing is lost in the process
-
I understand the nuances of language and moderate the cultural and extralinguistic aspects of communication
-
I put interpreting techniques into practice without letting nervousness or unforeseen circumstances get in the way
Relax and speak in your own language—I can take care of the rest.

Some situations where you may require my services:
A Service to Meet Your Every Need
Liaison
Interpreting
Ideal for business meetings, interviews, negotiations, sightseeing tours, visits to companies, plants, or trade fairs, and business trips.
No booth or additional equipment required.
Consecutive Interpreting
The best option for short speeches (no longer than half an hour), such as press conferences or official announcements.
No booth or additional equipment required.
Simultaneous Interpreting
The ideal service for training sessions, conferences or presentations with a high number of attendees.
Simultaneous interpreting is done in real time, parallel to the speech, with special equipment.
When simultaneous interpreting is used, or when the service is performed remotely, if the event lasts more than an hour and a half, two interpreters must be hired for every language pair.
Why?
To ensure the best interpreting quality possible and take care of our health, since our job requires an unusually high level of concentration at all times.
I always work with trusted colleagues as boothmates.
Communicate without barriers, in person or remotely
All types of interpreting can be performed on site or remotely.
In-Person Events
With this option, a sound-proof booth is installed at the event venue, and wireless receivers are handed out to the audience so that they can listen to the interpretation.
In some specific contexts, portable equipment (known as a "bidule") can be used to perform simultaneous interpretation without a booth.
My comprehensive packages include renting and installing sound and interpreting equipment.
Contact me if you have any questions.
Virtual Events Are Here to Stay
Liaison and consecutive interpreting can be performed using Zoom or similar platforms. It's that easy!
In addition, for some events held partially or totally online, it is possible to perform simultaneous interpreting using a remote interpreting platform.
In addition to involving a remote interpreting company, all the participants need to have a reliable Internet connection, as well as high-quality headphones and microphones.
