About Mary

Services Customized for You and Your Clients

Welcome to my interpretation and translation services! I’m excited to share a bit about my journey and how it shapes the exceptional services I offer.

Born in the city of Udon Thani, Thailand, my early life was deeply rooted in the rich cultural tapestry of Thai and Lao (Isan) languages. This heritage laid a strong foundation for my linguistic abilities. My educational journey took me to an international school in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where I honed my skills in English and developed a passion for bridging cultures.

In 2001, I embarked on a transformative adventure across the globe to America, immersing myself in its dynamic blend of Eastern and Western cultures. This experience ignited my enthusiasm for languages and deepened my appreciation for the beauty of diversity and cross-cultural exchange.

For the past 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of providing professional translation and interpretation services across various sectors—including family, business, education, religious, medical, legal, and government agencies.

When you partner with me, you can expect a commitment to ethical, impartial, and professional services. I am dedicated to addressing both language and cultural differences to ensure effective and equitable communication.

Let’s work together to bridge gaps and make meaningful connections through language!

Specialized Interpretation Services for...

I specialize in Languages of Lesser Diffusion, specifically Thai and Lao. I offer interpretation services across a range of categories to meet diverse needs.

   Feel free to reach out for interpretation or translation services in other languages as well. I’m part of a broad network of professionals covering hundreds of languages. As I’m not an agency, I do not earn any commission for referring you to other interpreters.

For interpretation services, I offer a range of options, including:

Consecutive Interpretation

In this mode, I interpret the speaker's message in the target language during pauses in their speech.

Simultaneous Interpretation

This method is perfect for larger events, where I interpret the speaker's message in real-time, often using specialized equipment.

Sight Translation

In this mode, I translate written documents into the target language in real-time.

The Benefits of Remote Interpretation

With a limited number of professional interpreters for Thai or Lao, remote interpretation offers global accessibility.

It eliminates travel expenses and saves time by using video applications like Zoom or WebEx, as well as telephonic methods.

Simple Set-up: There is no need for state-of-the-art equipment. All you need is a phone, internet access, and a webcam if needed. You won’t need to download any software.
