What I'm looking for

I’m seeking interpreter/translator roles where I can apply medical and legal interpretation skills, work remotely or on-site, collaborate cross-culturally, and grow into larger project or client-management responsibilities.

I am a multilingual interpreter and translator with over nine years of experience providing medical, legal, and social interpretation (OPI, VRI, in-person) and high-quality translation across Spanish, English, Chinese, French, and Italian. I deliver accurate, confidential language services in healthcare, immigration, and legal settings, and I am proficient with CAT tools and project management.

I hold a Master’s in Education and a BA in Professional Translation & Interpreting, and I have taught Chinese while working with remote interpreting platforms and healthcare providers. My record includes sustained remote and in-person assignments, certifications as a medical interpreter, and strong skills in cross-cultural communication and client management.
