In practice
Consecutive interpreting, in person, between English and Mandarin. I'm with you in the room — or on the factory floor — not in a booth, so I follow the conversation as it moves, carry what is meant as well as what is said, and keep both sides talking at a natural pace.
Track record

- Interpreted day to day for a Los Angeles pet products company whose founders spoke no EnglishPartnership meetings, supplier negotiations, trade-show conversations — I was in the room for all of it.
Questions
What kind of interpreting do you do?
Consecutive interpreting, English ⇄ Mandarin, in person — at the table, not in a booth. Meetings, factory and store visits, negotiations, trade shows.
Do you do simultaneous interpreting at conferences?
No. What I do is consecutive, at the table, where the point is that both sides follow each other and the meeting gets somewhere.
What do you need before the meeting?
Who will be there, what you want out of it, and any terms specific to your business. I read up beforehand, so the vocabulary is not being invented in the room.
Where do you work?
In person across Los Angeles and Southern California. Elsewhere by arrangement.
