About Me
Introduction:
Sami stumbled into an amazing career. As a translation professional, a medical interpreter and hosting several websites, her story is truly an amazing success.

She's been almost everywhere (within the EST): Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Canada and 'a few' Continental US States: Florida, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Alabama....oh yes, Georgia.

Honored by her colleagues, employers and contractors repeatedly for excellence in customer service.

Sami has created a worldwide following with STIS (Samiris Translation & Interpreter Service) business, including a strong online presence in Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Langmates, Plaxo among many others.

Sami is especially fond of 70's & 80's music, and is known for her 'strange', eclectic taste. You can find her listening to music as long as she is awake.

Sami also moonlights as an undercover artist, muralist and designer...and comedienne (cymbal clash!).
