על ג'סיקה סטבון

גדלתי בסאן אנטוניו, טקסס, שם למדתי עברית וספרדית כשפות שניות. בהמשך למדתי באוניברסיטת הרווארד, וכחלק מלימודי דתות ומזרח אסיה, התמחיתי ביפנית. עברתי לטוקיו ושם התחלתי ללמוד צרפתית.

אני מאמינה שאהבתי לשפות נובעת מצורך עמוק בתקשורת עם אנשים – כל מיני אנשים מכל רחבי תבל.

בעבודתי אני מתרכזת בתרגום עברית-אנגלית ובכתיבת תוכן. אני נהנית מהתהליך היצירתי של העברת טקסטים משפה אחת לאחרת תוך שמירה על הסגנון והמשמעות המקורית של הכותב.

כחלק מתהליך זה, אני נהנית מהתקשורת עם הסופרים שעמם אני עובדת ומהמאמץ להיכנס לתוך ראשם כדי שאוכל להביע את קולם בצורה האמיתית והמדויקת ביותר.

ג׳סיקה סטבון היא מתרגמת עברית-אנגלית, עורכת אנגלית, וכתבת תוכן בעלת תשוקה לשפות ולכתיבת סיפורים. היא מספקת שירותי תרגום וכתיבה מקצועית לעסקים ולכל דורש יותר מ-25 שנה.

Totally inspiring

A must-read in general, but especially during these dark days for the Jewish nation, both in Israel and elsewhere. Kudos and a loud shout-out to Jessica Setbon for her brilliant translation into English.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Jessica on the translation of my book and podcast into English. Jessica goes beyond the traditional role of a translator; she is a true partner in conveying not just the words but the very essence and spirit of the author's work.

Jessica possesses an extraordinary talent for selecting precisely the right words to capture the unique melody and tone of the original text. Her ability to infuse the translation with the author's voice is nothing short of remarkable, resulting in an outstanding final product.

Her commitment, attention to detail, and creative approach have significantly contributed to the success of both projects.
