What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can deliver precise medical and legal interpretation, support clear bilingual communication, and work with a mission-driven team that values accuracy, inclusion, and strong service.

I’m a Medical Interpreter and English–Spanish Translator who turns language expertise into real value for people and organizations. In 2024, I delivered phone-based interpretation of medical terms and conversations between limited English-speaking patients and providers in a remote setting.

From 2018 to 2023, I worked as an ad hoc Translator for the High Court of Belize. I translated English and Spanish for the accused, witnesses, jury panel, and court users, and I also supported translation of Spanish-to-English and English-to-Spanish documents, including expert evidence such as medical, Psychology, and Ballistic.

In 2022, I served as a Temporary Field Supervisor for the Statistical Institute of Belize (Housing and Population Census), supervising five enumerators and ensuring work distribution. I visited refusals to encourage cooperation and supervised the driver assigned to my team.

I bring excellent work ethics, strong verbal and written communication, and a detail-oriented approach to every assignment. Alongside my translation and customer-facing experience, I completed a Digital Diploma in Leadership for Social Inclusion and Access to Rights and earned a Certificate in Administrative Assistant training.
