In an effort to provide continuing education to interpreters, healthcare professionals, community members, and LEPs with respect to the field of interpretation, I often participate in or facilitate presentations and workshops.
Types of Presentations & Workshops
I have given many different types of presentations and workshops in the past, including but not limited to:
- Community presentations
- Conference Panels
- Guest lectures
- Live/Recorded CEU Workshops
- Podcasts
Areas of Expertise
These are areas in which I not only am knowledgeable, but am incredibly passionate! That being said, I am incredibly versatile and may be prepared to present on topics that are not included in this list, as it is not exhaustive.
- Federal Legislation for Language Access
- Gender Neutrality in Spanish
- How to Work Effectively with Interpreters
- Interpreter Mental Health and Self-Care
- Language Access in Healthcare
- LGBTQ+ Issues as they Relate to Interpreting
- Mental/Behavioral Health Interpreting
- Trauma-Informed Interpretation Services
- Vaping Concepts and Terminology
These are all areas in which I am competent to present in both Spanish and English. I can always present in a hybrid fashion to facilitate understanding between both languages.

Invited Presentations & Workshops
I’ve been invited to present at a number of conferences and other events, but unfortunately due to COVID-19, most of them have been indefinitely postponed or cancelled.
