What I'm looking for

I seek roles using my Mandarin interpretation and teaching skills in education, healthcare, or government, valuing accuracy, confidentiality, and impact.

I am an experienced Mandarin interpreter and Chinese language educator with a history of supporting federal agencies, medical centers, schools, and private clients. I deliver accurate, confidential interpretation and design curriculum for learners from beginner to advanced levels.

I have provided on-site, phone, and video interpretation for Social Security Administration, USCIS, hospitals, schools, and insurance clients, and I have worked in federal medical and educational roles overseas. I prioritize accuracy, cultural mediation, and excellent customer service while handling sensitive personal data.

As a classroom instructor and adjunct/assistant professor, I developed curricula, created assessment tools, and integrated educational technology to improve learner outcomes; I earned recognition for teaching excellence in a military language program. I have also contributed to language test research and produced materials accepted by a major university.

I seek roles where I can apply my interpretation, teaching, and administrative skills to improve communication and learning outcomes, while upholding professional ethics and confidentiality.
