Firsthand recommendations
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lucie Bransten, who has been providing her services as a simultaneous and consecutive interpreter between English and Czech in the highly specialized field of radiological security, starting in 2017, working for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration's Office of Radiological Security. She has provided interpretation services in specialized technical topics covering radiological security, implementation of physical protection systems, control of vulnerable radioactive sources, management of radiological security programs, and replacement of radioactive sources by alternative non-isotopic technologies. I highly recommend Ms. Bransten for any interpreting role and can confidently attest to her professional interpreting skills.
During her time with us, Ms. Bransten provided simultaneous interpretation services in German, English, and Czech for several professional study visits abroad organized for the staff of the National Heritage Institute. These visits covered a range of highly specialized topics related to heritage conservation, including the conservation of historic gardens in castle grounds in Saxony, Germany, the management of historical buildings and historical collections in and around London, UK, and the conservation of technical monuments and conversions of former industrial buildings in Trondelag, Norway. I highly recommend Ms. Lucie Bransten as a simultaneous interpreter for any organization requiring professional interpreting services. Her expertise, dedication, and professionalism make her an asset to any team.
I just want to let you know that the interpreter was very good, please tell her our acknowledgment.
