About Us
Every great journey starts with a single step, and at Global Interpreting Innovations (GII), we are here to guide interpreters on that path. Our story began in the heart of Minnesota, where a passionate, women-owned, minority-led team saw the growing need for professional interpreters in communities, schools, hospitals, and social services. We believed in building bridges between cultures and languages, ensuring no voice goes unheard. Today, we stand as a beacon for those ready to make a difference through interpretation.
