Testimonials

​“When the globally-minded American company that I work for decided to acquire an Italian-based manufacturer, I can honestly admit that the distinct language barrier was quite intimidating. But Mira was absolutely the best resource at working side-by-side translating for me and my hospitable Italian counterparts. Mira is an excellent multilingual translator that truly digs deep to fully clarify any questions or responses, and her warm personality & glowing smile are well-received and highly appreciated.” (J. B., T&S Brass)

“I’ve had the pleasure of interpreting alongside Mira Lenzer Newbould at a recent plenary meeting of UniCredit’s European Works Council. Since I don’t work from Italian, I relied on Mira’s accomplished relay skills. She helped us get through the meeting with calm and ease, and I felt confident throughout that what was coming from the Croatian booth was both an accurate rendition of the spoken Italian and a relay-friendly delivery. Mira has extensive experience in translation into Croatian for the bodies of the European Union as well as a large client base in and around Italy and Croatia to whom she provides conference interpreting skills. I‘m delighted to be able to recommend Mira’s Croatian/English/Italian linguistic services to anyone looking for a proficient and professionally trained translator/interpreter.” (C.S., Interpreter)

“I had the pleasure of working with Mira during a leadership development course conducted in Budapest. Throughout the program, she provided interpretation from English to Croatian with exceptional professionalism, accuracy, and consistency. Her command of both languages was outstanding, allowing her to effectively communicate complex leadership concepts, discussions, and practical exercises to the participants. She demonstrated an impressive ability to convey not only the words being spoken but also the tone, intent, and nuances of the instruction, ensuring that participants remained fully engaged and connected to the course material. In addition to her linguistic skills, Mira was highly prepared, attentive, and adaptable. She maintained excellent composure during interactive discussions, group activities, and question-and-answer sessions, facilitating seamless communication between the instructor and participants. Her professionalism and positive demeanor contributed significantly to the success of the course.

I would confidently recommend Mira for any assignment requiring high-quality interpretation services. Her expertise, reliability, and commitment to excellence make her a valuable asset to any training, educational, or professional environment.” (A.S., Leadership Instructor)
