What I'm looking for

I am seeking remote translation roles in healthcare or business where I can apply bilingual expertise, cultural nuance, and instructional experience to produce accurate, clear translations and support cross-cultural communication.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) educator with over 14 years of experience in bilingual instruction, assessment, and cross-cultural communication, now transitioning into remote translation for healthcare or commercial clients.

I have designed and delivered data-driven, differentiated lesson plans using digital platforms such as Google Docs/Slides/Sheets, Canvas, Achieve 3000, and I-Station, and completed targeted ELAR/Biliteracy training to support diverse learners.

I translate complex information clearly and accurately with attention to linguistic nuance and cultural context, and I am seeking remote roles that leverage my instructional background and language skills to support global communication in healthcare or business.
