I interpret English–Mandarin communications across legal, medical, immigration, and financial settings with accuracy and confidentiality.

United States

Message

I provide English–Mandarin interpretation for USCIS asylum and immigration interviews, legal and court-related matters, 911 and law-enforcement calls, and medical, insurance, financial, and government assignments. I use first-person consecutive interpretation while protecting accuracy, neutrality, and confidentiality.

Alongside interpretation and translation, I prepare individual and small-business tax returns at Linda’s Tax Service and support bookkeeping in QuickBooks. My data analytics background strengthens my precision with documentation, numbers, dates, terminology, reporting, and client communication.
