About Bromberg & Associates, LLC
Bromberg & Associates located in Southeast Michigan, can solve your communication needs globally with expertise that includes services such as translation, interpreting, proofreading and certification in more than 150 different languages.
From localizing a website for commerce in another country to meeting your language translation service requirements for desktop publishing, or preparing corporate materials in any language, Bromberg & Associates stands ready to help you communicate with global business associates and customers. We also provide innovative services in healthcare including cultural competency training and ethic marketing.
One of the company′s latest milestones has been the launch of the online language-specific training courses for legal interpreters available at InterpreterEducationOnline.com.
I consider myself a global-minded, innovative and energetic person. I started my career in the language industry early on in life and soon developed a passion for different languages, cultures and communication.
After having worked in the field for many years as a freelance translator and interpreter, I founded a translation agency named Russian Connection. By 1999, my translation agency was offering an array of language related services that the name was changed to Bromberg & Associates. Under my leadership, Bromberg & Associates has achieved a tremendous growth and expansion currently offering services in over 150 languages. The company just celebrated its 10 year anniversary and is looking forward to many more decades of innovation and success on the forefront of the language industry. While running the company, I still work hard towards becoming a better interpreter. One of the highlights in my career includes the fact that I am the first fully certified Court Interpreter between Russian and English languages in the State of Michigan.
My publications include B&A′s Medical and Legal Interpreter Training Guides and a Language Interpretation in Health Care report which I have co-authored. Raising the bar and improving quality of interpreting services is one of my pet peeves. We have been providing training to aspiring bilinguals and practicing interpreters since 2003. However, in the spring of 2009 we moved our interpreter training to a new environment and launched an innovative language-specific legal interpreter training program online. The next course designed to train medical interpreters is due in 2010.
