Since October, I’ve officially been a full member of the International Association of Conference Interpreters – a milestone I’m genuinely proud of and grateful for.
A few weeks ago, a welcome kit arrived. The one which carries symbolic weight for me: it represents belonging to a global professional community that actively safeguards quality, professionalism and ethical standards in conference interpreting worldwide.
This membership didn’t happen overnight – not even within a single year. It was a journey that sharpened my skills, and ultimately allowed me to go the extra mile and level up as an interpreter. I’m grateful for the learning, the trust, and the people who accompanied me along the way.
A special thank you to my sponsors – you know who you are. Your support meant more than you may realise.
I’m also happy to contribute as a volunteer in the field of conference technology within the German AIIC region, supporting the association in its commitment to the interpreting standards.
I’m glad to continue walking this path – with curiosity, responsibility and dedication.
