I am quite involved in the interpreting community. In addition to voluntary roles in my professional associations, I also give talks to students and practising interpreters. I am regularly invited to speak at translation and interpreting conferences.
My next speaking engagement will be in Cairo on 1-2 April 2020 where I will deliver a keynote speech. Back to my Alma Mater!
