What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values bilingual communication and offers opportunities for professional growth in legal or healthcare settings.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in bilingual medical interpretation and visa processing. Currently, I serve as a Visas Specialist at the Mexican Consulate in Las Vegas, where I interview applicants and determine visa eligibility based on Mexican Immigration Law. My role requires a keen understanding of legal frameworks and the ability to navigate complex procedures efficiently.

Prior to this, I worked as a Video Remote Medical Interpreter for The Cultural Link, providing essential communication support in medical settings across the nation. My background also includes significant experience as a Bilingual Case Manager, where I managed cases involving children in foster care, ensuring their safety and well-being while providing necessary services. My educational foundation in law from the National Autonomous University of Mexico further enhances my ability to operate effectively in diverse environments.
