About Sonia

With over 15 years of experience, my career has led me to specialize in international support in multicultural environments.

I have experience in simultaneous and consecutive interpretation specializing in the automotive and steel sectors, in multicultural problem-solving, and general assistance for international staff. I possess strong skills in international customer service, administrative assistance, etc.

My analytical skills and interest in cultures, my mastery of several languages, and my life experiences abroad have given me a multicultural understanding and the ability to easily build personal relationships.
