“When every word counts, there’s no room for mistakes.”
Meet Alexandra Kaplan, the CEO & Founder of Kaplan Interpreting Services, a powerhouse in the world of interpretation. A Spanish Court-Certified Interpreter with a passion for making sure that language is never a barrier to important conversations. With over 17 years of experience, Alexandra’s journey has been one of precision, impact, and unmatched expertise—working with world leaders, top-tier legal and medical professionals, and businesses that understand the power of clear communication.
Kaplan Interpreting Services wasn’t just born out of necessity—it was born out of a deep-rooted belief that every person, regardless of language, deserves to be heard. Alexandra’s path began interpreting in medical offices and courtrooms, but as demand for her services skyrocketed, she saw a troubling trend: agencies hiring untrained bilinguals instead of certified professionals. The consequences of this could be devastating, especially in legal or medical contexts.
In 2017, Alexandra made it her mission to change this—creating Kaplan Interpreting Services as a beacon of quality, accuracy, and integrity. By building a network of top-tier linguists who share her commitment to excellence, she ensured that her clients would never have to worry about losing something in translation. Today, Kaplan Interpreting Services is trusted by law firms, hospitals, government agencies, and businesses that understand the importance of precision.
Born in Dallas, Texas, Alexandra’s life was a melting pot of cultures. Her father spoke Italian, her mother Arabic, and by the time she was two, they moved to Venezuela, where Spanish became her first language. It wasn’t long before she added English to her linguistic repertoire, and later earned a Master’s in Healthcare Administration. Yet, no matter how many degrees she earned, her heart always called her back to what she loved most: helping people bridge language gaps.
From interpreting in hospitals to becoming a court-certified interpreter, Alexandra’s journey took off when she realized that her workload was too much to handle on her own. So, she began connecting top-notch professionals with clients who needed nothing short of perfection. And that’s how Kaplan Interpreting Services was born—a company rooted in excellence and built on relationships.
One of the most surreal moments of Alexandra’s career was interpreting a historic phone call between Pope Francis and President-elect Joe Biden—the first time a Catholic U.S. President had spoken directly to the Pope since JFK. But it’s not just these high-profile events that bring her joy; it’s the small, life-changing moments. Like the time Alexandra stopped an immigrant mother from signing a legal document that would have jeopardized her asylum case—all because she didn’t fully understand the language. That single act changed the course of a life—and that’s why Alexandra does what she does.
