Summary
I am a committed and passionate healthcare interpreter, dedicated to maintaining the highest levels of patient care and eliminating language barriers that may hinder access to quality healthcare. Although I have less than a year of formal experience as a medical interpreter, I possess a strong foundation in language proficiency and the skills necessary to excel in this role. My eagerness to expand my experience as a medical interpreter stems from my desire to improve overall healthcare outcomes and enhance patient satisfaction.
