What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values bilingual communication and offers growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated medical interpreter fluent in both English and Spanish, with over 5 years of experience in the BPO industry and freelance roles. My journey began with a degree in English Language Teaching, which I completed in May 2020, and I have since honed my skills in consecutive interpretation across various sectors, including healthcare and finance.

Throughout my career, I have worked with notable organizations such as Pantoglot and Language Services Associates, providing essential communication support in medical calls and other industries. My background also includes supervisory roles, where I focused on enhancing team performance and customer service metrics. I pride myself on my strong work ethic, attention to detail, and commitment to professional ethics, which guide my interactions with clients and colleagues alike.
