Sonja K. Swenson

Description

I have been translating since 2007 and interpreting since 2010, when I completed a MA in conference interpreting at the Institut des Relations Internationales de l'Université de Strasbourg, France.

My regular clients today include the Organization of American States, Inter-American Development Bank, US Department of State, UN Food and Agriculture Organization, UN Economic Commission for Europe, TV5 Monde, US domestic courts, and the private sector. From 2016-2017 I worked for the UN Assistance to the Khmer Rouge Trials in Cambodia.

I work frequently with law, security, defense, trade, finance, development, and agriculture.
