Testimonials

  • "Sarah’s translation and interpretation work for the United Nations FFM Libya team was indispensable. As the Legal Advisor, Sarah was essential for my legal research and analysis, as well as my interviews (Arabic-English). She was highly professional and never missed a beat, even with complicated legal language. It was a real pleasure to work with Sarah, who made me realise just how valuable top translators/interpreters are in human rights work, and in UN matters in general."
