My strengths as an interpreter
Experienced sworn interpreter and translator Arabic/Dutch, simultaneous and consecutive for intercultural business and personal conversations. I enjoy contributing to good communication in which parties can easily and confidentially express themselves in their own language. As a driven professional I bridge cultural differences and prevent misunderstandings by delivering high quality and integrity with a neutral attitude and respect for the message. This according to the guidelines and code of conduct of the Sworn Interpreters and Translators Act (Wbtv).
