I am very practiced at interpreting conversations and can convert English<>Spanish at a fast pace. This helps lead to a more fluid discussion and eases the process for everyone involved. Moreover, on-site interpretation in charter schools has given me the opportunity to work with individuals from various regions of the Hispanosphere, for which I am exceedingly grateful. As Cesar Chavez said, "Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrepect for other cultures". Public Sector Interpreting is a gentle reminder of what interpreting is about: humans interacting to satisfy immediate human needs. It is an invitation to open the windows of our minds and of our souls for a welcome gust of fresh air. Show less

Primarily, I strive to serve as a conduit, clarifier and cultural broker in a sensitive and compassionate manner. I believe in continuously promoting professional Interpreting standards, which is why I strictly adhere to both HIPAA and the Code of Ethics. As an Interpreter I diminish fear, reduce distrust and break down stereotypes. What better way to serve people who have no voice because of linguistic barriers than to neutrally and confidentially act as interpreter? It is extremely rewarding. Show less
