Conference interpreter during Maria Montessori training course

Silvia Palá Intérpretes has collaborated with us by offering our interpreting services during the teacher training course so that teachers can follow and apply Maria Montessori’s teaching method.

Maria Montessori was a physician, educator, psychiatrist and philosopher, as well as a humanist, activist, feminist, Italian suffragette and devout Catholic. She became one of the first female doctors in Italy. Later as an educator she became known for her educational philosophy Maria Montessori, and her writings on scientific pedagogy.

Her educational method is used today in many public and public schools around the world.

I have been working as a simultaneous interpreter since 1992, and my very first assignment was none other than the Barcelona Olympic Games. I was proud to be part of such a historic event, as it allowed me to combine my passion for both sports and my profession.

In my early years, I found myself wanting to be every professional whose world I entered from the interpreting booth. Enthralled by the excitement of the athletes representing us, I dreamed of becoming an Olympic sailor. Another day, I returned home determined to be the best coach. A respected pediatric surgeon. The most efficient orthodontist. A renowned publishing director. A stairlift manufacturer. A high-fashion model. A driver on the new metro line. An actress, a sculptor. A nurse. A President of a board of directors.

I quickly realized that pursuing so many professions, no matter how fascinating they seemed, would be impossible. Instead, I chose to embrace the privilege of giving voice to the remarkable individuals I have had the honor of interpreting for, carrying a piece of each one with me.

I cannot deny that every client I have worked with has left a lasting impression on me, enriching both my personal and professional growth.
