The ability to interpret simultaneously a conference requires a perfect knowledge of the topic, the jargon and vocabulary, the languages used. The ability to interpret so many different topics, from so many different foreign languages, at a very high level requires a knowledge, culture, and adaptability that are very uncommon, even in this profession.

Interpreted at all major FAO and ILO meetings between 1984 and my arrival in the USA
