What I'm looking for
I am a motivated and experienced Mandarin interpreter and teacher with a strong background in educational and medical interpretation. My journey began with a Master's degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language from the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, where I honed my skills in language instruction and cultural exchange. I have provided interpretation services across various sectors, including education, healthcare, and federal government offices, ensuring clear communication between Chinese-speaking individuals and English-speaking professionals.
Throughout my career, I have worked with organizations such as LOMAS MultiService LLC and Lexington Medical Center, where I facilitated communication in sensitive environments, including parent-teacher conferences and medical consultations. My commitment to accuracy and clarity has earned me recognition for my excellent customer service and adherence to ethical standards. I am passionate about fostering understanding and bridging cultural gaps through language.
