Guatemala City
She has some good credentials, but folks, it’s her penchant for being organized and that she can dial in a microphone with kindness that makes her worth her salt. Master in Conference Interpreting from York University in Toronto where she now teaches, Laura is a passionate advocate for tenderness in all things, and is all about making online interpreting environments work better. Put a bike under her and a coffee in her cup and you’ll likely get a smile out of her.
