Meet Our Speaker: Morgan Lange, Founder & CEO of Azuli Language Solutions 

Morgan Lange is the founder & CEO of Azuli Language Solutions, a leading translation and interpretation agency in Arizona established in 2018. Morgan is a certified English-Spanish translator and Tier-1 legal interpreter accredited by the Arizona Supreme Court, and has been studying and speaking Spanish for over 30 years. She holds degrees in Translation & Interpretation Studies, Spanish, and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology from Pima Community College and the University of Arizona. She is also a graduate of the Team, Management & Leadership Program at Landmark Worldwide and is the founding president of the International Language Power Team, a network of 25 language agencies around the world who support each other via global collaborations.

Morgan’s deep passion for nonprofits has shaped her path and career, leading her across the U.S. and Mexico to work with multiple environmental groups, a Latino-empowerment organization, an animal shelter, a wellness center, a community radio station, and a voter advocacy group, among others. Initially set on a career in environmental sciences, her years living in Yucatan, Mexico inspired a shift toward language services, where she now specializes in legal, scientific, and technical translation and interpretation. Fun fact: her most useless (but entertaining) skill is writing backwards in cursive.
