Dina Evioni

Specialization: Interpretation/translation
I was born in England and grew up and was educated in London. I have lived for about half my life in Geneva, spent a lot of time in Israel and am currently living in Bangkok, Thailand. I am married with two adult daughters and two lovely little grandchildren living in Dubai, so obviously, I visit there frequently. Among all the different subjects I have worked on, my favourite ones are International Law and medicine. I very much enjoy field missions, which get us out of our ivory towers in the conference rooms and into real life, comfortable as the ivory towers are. While I speak Hebrew fluently, I am not so good at reading and writing, too slow.
