From 1994 to 2004 I worked as a medical translator and interpreter in a hospital in Massachusetts. During that time I translated hospital documentation such as medical records, medical research, journal publications, HIPA regulations, consent forms, patient care instructions, pre and post-op instructions, education material and instructional videos.
I have worked as an interpreter and translator for three U.S. Federal Law Judges. For two years I was responsible for the translation and interpretation of all testimony, court proceedings, and documentary evidence presented in the courtrooms. This required the ability to do sight translations and consecutive and simultaneous interpretation. At the same time I worked closely with U.S. Probation Officers and Marshals both in and out of Federal and State prisons.
In 2005 I completed a real estate buyer-seller transaction in Argentina in which I participated as translator, interpreter and negotiator.
Since 2006, in addition to my work as a freelance translator, I have also worked as an interpreter for Language Service Associates, managing up to 4 hours of phone interpretation per day for medical providers, social service and government agencies, financial, and insurance companies as they interview or provide services to their Spanish speaking clients in the U.S. and overseas. | This user has reported completing projects in the following job categories, language pairs, and fields.
