ABOUT CRIS SILVA

I’m glad you came!

In my 20 years as a translator, interpreter, consultant, and voice-over talent, I’m happy to have lived a life surrounded by foreign languages. It started with an opportunity to come to the United States on what would have been a one-year exchange, and culminated with a B.A. in English, French and Linguistics (and a minor in Theatre) from the University of Kansas. I’ve also lived in Colorado, New York, Mexico City, and all over Brazil (Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul; Joinville, Santa Catarina; Porto Velho, Rondônia and Parnaíba, Piauí).

Fast forward a few years and I continue to live a life that’s language- and culture-rich, and affords me so many opportunities in translation and interpretation. After earning a first M.A. in Translation in 1997, from Kent State University in Ohio; in 2019, I finished my second master’s, the M.A.S. in Interpreter Training at the Université de Genève. I continue to enjoy working as a freelance conference interpreter, translator, terminologist, voice-over talent and cultural consultant close to our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.
