About Me

I’m Arianna Schneider-Stocking, a veteran of the translation industry, and a 30-year Bay Area transplant. I believe in the power and importance of words, and the ability of language to bring people together. I have been working as a professional conference interpreter and translator, providing simultaneous and consecutive interpretation at the highest governmental level in German, Italian, and English for political, business, and technical conferences. It has been my goal to facilitate written and verbal communication and negotiations between people from different cultures and languages, and to help coordinate, organize, and execute projects in a team environment.
