Spanish medical interpreter focused on accurate, ethical communication and patient advocacy in fast-paced healthcare.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Spanish medical interpreter dedicated to bridging language barriers with accuracy, ethics, and patient advocacy. I bring strong verbal communication skills and medical terminology knowledge to support clear, respectful understanding between patients and providers.
In healthcare settings, I provide both simultaneous and consecutive interpreting through Radiant Valley Interpreting Services, supporting communication across medical environments and other professional contexts. At Kaweah Health Hospital, I interpreted symptoms and medical history in a fast-paced Emergency Room, helped patients understand medical procedures, and supported consent form explanations and discharge instructions.
Alongside interpreting, I’ve built customer-focused experience through medical billing work (ICD-10 coding, claim submission, and follow-up to reduce denied claims) and licensed cosmetology service at a nursing home (haircuts, perms, styling, coloring, and grooming to support comfort and well-being). I’m adaptable, impartial, and organized, with a strong listener mindset and a commitment to problem solving when communication is on the line.
