8 Years of Experience

The person guiding you through this program

With 8 years of experience as a Spanish medical interpreter, I've dedicated my career to bridging communication between patients and healthcare providers. I completed the 40-hr ALTA Medical Training myself, and for the past 3 years I've worked as both a trainer and recruiter — helping train and mentor over 80 interpreters.

I've led and supported interpreter teams of 30 to 45 medical interpreters on large-scale projects, and for more than 3 years I've also served as a QA Officer, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy and professionalism in every interpretation.

What I love most is teaching — introducing people to this field and watching them discover a career that truly makes a difference. This program brings together everything I've learned in the field, in training rooms, and in quality assurance to help you build a strong, confident foundation as a medical interpreter.
