Conference Interpreter

Lisa Woytowicz is a professional conference interpreter serving Essen, Duisburg, Dortmund, and Duesseldorf.

2015–2019: MA in Conference Interpreting from Mainz University for the languages German, English and Portuguese

2014: Studied abroad at the Universidade de São Paulo

2012–2016: BA in Language, Culture and Translation from Mainz University for the languages German, English Portuguese, and Dutch

Though born and raised in the Lower Rhine region of Germany, I feel equally at home in Brazil and South Africa. This is thanks to the many years spent working at a small music school in a village along the Eastern Cape, in addition to my time serving as a DAAD language assistant at a large university in the heart of São Paulo.

As a professional conference interpreter offering simultaneous interpreting and consecutive interpreting services, it is imperative that I maintain not only my foreign language skills (English and Portuguese), but also my native German skills. This is one of the reasons why I spent several years teaching German as a foreign language at Mainz University, where I also tutored interpreting students.

Besides working in the interpreter booth, you can also find me at the swimming pool. Swimming is a passion of mine that has taught me a great deal about team spirit and drive— two essential characteristics for interpreters.

Generally speaking, you can expect professional language interpreters and translators to have one or more university degrees. In addition to holding a Bachelor’s degree in translation and a Master’s degree in conference interpreting, I also possess the necessary cultural expertise in my working languages and am guided by strict professional standards.

As a service provider, you can count on me to be conscientious and friendly. What I do, I do with dedication and the necessary foresight. Moreover, I attach a great deal of importance to adhering to deadlines and have a strong commitment to quality.

I am also a member of two professional associations. As such, I have a solid network of professional interpreters and conference interpreters covering every major language combination. To keep my skills sharp and up-to-date, I make it a point to regularly attend continuing education courses.
