MEDICAL INTERPRETER
I have held certification through the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters since 2011, when the credential was first introduced. In order to maintain this CoreCHI credential, I regularly attend continuing education events related to healthcare terminology, memory skills, consecutive interpretation practice, sight translation, and other topics essential to professional development as a healthcare interpreter.
I adhere to the Healthcare Interpreter Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. ONSITE: Since starting to work as an onsite medical interpreter in 2007, I have acquired experience in routine medical care, surgeries, emergency department care, and mental health. OVER-THE-PHONE: I worked as an OPI for Pacific Interpreters (now part of Language Line) from 2009 until 2013. During the last two years of my contract with Pacific, I also served as an interpreter tester. ESCORT INTERPRETER
I first began working as an escort interpreter at the Australian Consulate General in Rio de Janeiro in 1982. Since then, my assignments have included meetings and visits involving government officials, politicians, business people, and academics. My all-time favorite assignment was interpreting for the Australian delegation at the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992.
