Just like you love knowing who your interpreter is, interpreters like to know a little about you too! It helps them prepare and do their job well. Especially if you've never met before!
Your bio = your superpower 💥
Here’s what a great bio can do:
-
Helps interpreters know who you are before your booking (less awkward, more flow) 🧠
-
Builds trust and connection from the start 🤝
-
Makes you feel seen, understood, and respected 💙
-
Saves you time—no need to re-explain your context every single booking ⏱️
What should you include? ✍️
2–3 sentences can do the trick. 🎯
Here are some helpful prompts:
-
What do you do? (Work, study, parenting, community roles?) 💼🎓
-
Where do you usually use an interpreter? (Meetings? Appointments? Events?) 📅
-
Anything you'd like interpreters to know up front? (Communication style?) ✅
Quick tips 💡

Be you. Formal or casual—whatever feels right 😌
