I’m Arianna Schneider-Stocking
Conference and legal interpreter, translator and editor for English, German and Italian, based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I have lived, studied and worked in Italy, Germany and the United States, and for more than 20 years I have helped people understand each other when it matters most: in ministerial meetings, in the courtroom, at product launches and in contracts that have to be right.
Every assignment gets the same care: thorough preparation, precise terminology, neutrality and strict confidentiality.

Recommendations
“She is one of the most impressive simultaneous interpreters I have ever worked with. … Because of her rare skill and professionalism, including in the very difficult task of simultaneously interpreting complex technical matters in very adversarial depositions, I have recommended Ms. Schneider-Stocking to virtually all of my opposing counsel when a need presented itself for interpreting witnesses’ testimony.”
“Ms Schneider-Stocking is experienced, skilled and very professional. We’ve hired her on many occasions as a simultaneous interpreter for conferences as well as live broadcasts, both high-stress settings which require self-assurance and an even disposition, and these are qualities that Ms Schneider-Stocking possesses in spades.”
“After having worked with her once, Arianna was always my first call for either Italian or German conference interpreting. Arianna was always easy to work with and very professional. The feedback received from our client was always very positive.”
“She has worked for my agency at large international conferences as a simultaneous interpreter in the German and in the Italian booth. … I can without hesitation recommend Mrs. Schneider-Stocking for any translating job or interpretation assignment that requires in-depth knowledge of German and Italian.”
“Both we as the hiring agency and our end client have been extremely happy with her work. In addition, Ms. Schneider-Stocking has proven to be a great member of our multilingual interpreting team.”
“We have worked with Arianna for more than 15 years. Her conduct, honesty, punctuality and dress ethics are impeccable.”
