I had the pleasure of meeting Sophia as my student at the Bridging the Gap Medical Interpreter Training. Sophia is a very bright and dedicated professional. She has a profound insight into the needs of different cultures and shows great respect and sensitivity. She is of tremendous value for everybody who has the opportunity working with her.
