Certified Spanish interpreter with extensive medical interpretation experience.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated and certified Spanish interpreter, I have spent several years honing my skills in medical interpretation, ensuring effective communication between healthcare providers and Spanish-speaking patients. Currently, I serve as a Senior Medical Interpreter at Children's Hospital Colorado, where I facilitate critical conversations in a fast-paced outpatient specialty care environment. My role involves documenting encounters in Epic, which has enhanced my ability to manage patient information efficiently.
Prior to my current position, I worked as a freelance Spanish interpreter, providing services to prestigious institutions like Stanford Hospital and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. My experience spans various healthcare settings, where I have delivered both consecutive and simultaneous interpretation, ensuring that patients receive the highest quality of care. My commitment to bridging language barriers is further demonstrated through my volunteer work in Peru, where I supported patients in a general hospital.
