About Andrea

I'm Andrea McKay, an ATA-certified French ↔ English translator and conference interpreter based in Monterey, California. I received my M.A. in Translation and Interpretation from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies (MIIS) in 2021 and have been working as a freelancer ever since.

I help government agencies, global brands, NGOs, and healthcare providers communicate with clarity and cultural intelligence—whether through simultaneous or consecutive interpretation, both remotely or in-person, or through certified document translation.

As a vetted U.S. Department of State seminar interpreter, I’m trusted where stakes are highest and accuracy is non-negotiable.
