What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values effective communication and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated professional with a passion for bridging communication gaps. As a Spanish Consecutive Interpreter, I excel in high-pressure environments, ensuring that messages are conveyed accurately and respectfully in both English and Spanish. My experience includes working in emergency, legal, and healthcare scenarios, where I adhere strictly to confidentiality protocols to protect the rights of all parties involved.

In addition to my interpreting work, I am also an Online English Teacher for Adults, where I create customized lessons that cater to the diverse goals of my students. I leverage digital tools and interactive methods to deliver engaging virtual classes, fostering a supportive environment that encourages adult learners to practice their language skills confidently. My commitment to education and effective communication drives my professional journey.
