About

 

I began my interpreting career over a decade ago in the halls of hospitals. I love healthcare interpreting. I am nationally certified both as a CMI and CHI, and have since gone on to earn a Master in Conference Interpreting.

 

Projects

 

Currently my conference interpreting energies get poured into String & Can Multilingual Online. We focus on really, really good interpreting and tech preparation for the online environment, for clients looking for truly meaningful exchange across languages.

My teaching passions get directed into structuring peer practice intensives for interpreters. Well, for people, in fact. Beautiful, talented people who interpret and want to do it better and better everyday. 7 Sisters & co>lab interpreting are my homes for this groove.

Experiments

I always have my finger on the pulse of new platforms and tools coming out for online interpreting: VoiceBoxer, Kudo, QuaQua, Ablio, Rafiky… and making existing ones—i.e. zoom—better for interpreters.

We also just got through squishing third year med students together with beginning and very experienced healthcare interpreters in a recent 7 Sisters intensive: Lab7 Healthcare. Very fun.
