"To me, connection isn't enough. This is about truly touching lives - making an impact - through authentic and compassionate communication." - Drita Protopapa, MA, MPH
MAPA Translations, Inc. The CEO and founder, Drita Protopapa, is at the core of the company's mission. A child of Albanian and Estonian immigrants, Protopapa grew up in a multilingual and multicultural home, where a deep sense of justice and a passion for communication were cultivated from an early age. Her upbringing instilled in her a profound understanding of barriers that language and culture can create, and a lifelong commitment to giving a voice to those who might otherwise not be heard.

Drita Protopapa's professional journey is a testament to her dedication to empowering communities. After earning a B.A. in Latin American Studies at Rice University, an M.A. in Brazilian Studies at Brown University, and an M.P.H. in International & Family Health at the UT Houston School of Public Health, she gained extensive experience as a project manager in academic medicine and public health. It was this work that led her to begin "moonlighting" as a medical and community interpreter, where she saw firsthand the critical need for accurate, compassionate, and culturally informed language services. This experience, combined with her entrepreneurial spirit, motivated her to launch MAPA Translations in July of 2007.
MAPA Translations: A Business with a Social Conscience
Since its founding, MAPA Translations has distinguished itself not just as a provider of services, but as a business with a powerful social conscience. The company's core mission is to empower global communication by providing culturally sensitive and accurate language services. This goes beyond simple translation; it's about helping individuals and organizations "decode and decipher" information to make educated and empowered decisions.
MAPA's comprehensive suite of services includes document translation, interpreter services, and multilingual voice-over in more than 100 languages. While this offering is extensive, the company's approach is its true differentiator. MAPA Translations operates with a human-centric model, where every project is handled with empathy and a deep respect for cultural nuance. This is complemented by a forward-thinking approach to ethical innovation, leveraging tools like AI to enhance efficiency and accuracy without compromising the human expertise that is essential for authentic communication. The company's unique "human-in-the-loop" philosophy ensures that technology serves as a powerful partner, allowing its expert linguists to focus on the nuanced, context-driven work that only a human can perform.
MAPA Translations' vision is to solidify its legacy as a global leader in human-centric partnerships. It aims to empower a thousand organizations to expand their reach and impact over the next decade. Guided by a set of actionable core values that include Unwavering Commitment to Quality, Ethical Innovation, and Radical Ownership, the company is built to ensure both its team and its clients are on a clear path to success. MAPA is not just meeting the growing demand for language services; it is defining what it means to connect a global community with integrity and purpose.
