I am proud of having created a professional firm which has become the principal source for quality conference interpretation services in the heart of corporate Canada and which has a solid reputation stretching across Canada and into the USA. I enjoy the trust and respect of my clients and the interpreters alike, many of whom I have worked with for over 25 years.   

My professional and organisational skills have been honed over a multi-year career spread over two continents filled with many memorable experiences. On a personal level, I have had the honour to work at many G7/G8 events, meeting some of the major world politicians, at the Winter Olympics and at a multitude of international conventions.

My consulting practice took off when ICI was incorporated in 1989. We rapidly acquired an impressive list of high-profile clients in Canada and also in the USA. When Wal-Mart arrived in Canada in 1994, ICI was called upon to supply the French interpretation at the first Pan-Canadian meeting. The retail giant remains a regular client. A ten-year collaboration with the American Association of Orthodontists gave us the opportunity to develop the expertise of a team working into Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese and Korean in this most demanding of subjects. And, since 2003, I have been the Canadian arm of Calliope, a highlight being the collaboration with my UK/Ireland colleague to provide English, French, Spanish and Thai at a meeting of Shell International in Toronto.
