Buasawan Simmala
Description
Born and educated in Laos, I am fluent in Lao and Thai with strong cross-cultural competence in both. I hold an undergraduate degree from Vietnam and have over 38 years of combined professional and academic experience in Laos and the United States. Since 1996, I have worked as a Lao interpreter and translator, including for the U.S. Embassy in Laos, with expertise in law, education, community affairs, international relations, and politics. My extensive background has refined my bilingual proficiency (English and Lao/Thai) and deepened my understanding of Lao and Thai cultures.
