Language Access
Is Personal to Us

Laguardia Translations was founded by Clarissa Laguardia, who immigrated to the U.S. at 18 without her family, navigating systems, institutions, and daily life without language support. That experience became the foundation for everything we do.

Today we partner with school districts, law firms, healthcare systems, and government agencies across NorCal to ensure that language is never a barrier to dignity, services, or opportunity.

"We want to make sure language is never a barrier to someone accessing services with dignity and respect."

Meet Clarissa — Founder Story

A Mission Born
From Experience

Clarissa Laguardia built this company because she lived the problem. Arriving in the U.S. at 18 without her family, without the language, she experienced firsthand what it means to navigate systems without support.

That's the foundation of Laguardia Translations, not just professional expertise, but personal commitment to language access as a matter of dignity.
