I am a dedicated team player and an effective communicator, committed to bridging language barriers and supporting diverse communities. My educational background includes multiple certificates in Spanish medical, legal, and academic interpretation and translation, as well as formal training in medical terminology, Italian studies, and secretarial skills. I have also contributed as a content creator and speaker, particularly within community and church settings. I have held numerous contract and volunteer positions with organizations such as Cyracom International, Certified Languages International, Language Services Associates, Tucson Unified School District, and others.
