What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values cultural competence and offers opportunities for professional growth in healthcare.

I am a certified Medical Interpreter with specialized training in medical terminology and healthcare systems. My experience spans interpreting for hospitals, emergency departments, clinics, and social service agencies, where I handle sensitive calls with professionalism and cultural competence. Fluent in both Spanish and English, I possess strong interpersonal skills that enhance communication and improve patient access to care.

My background as a licensed dietitian enriches my understanding of health and wellness contexts, allowing me to provide nuanced support in medical settings. I have earned certifications in medical interpretation and have actively participated in nutritional campaigns, demonstrating my commitment to both healthcare and community service. I am dedicated to ensuring that language barriers do not impede patient care and strive to make a positive impact in every interaction.
