About
Cariño Interpreting
I learned firsthand the need for skilled language professionals two decades ago. While in nursing school in Los Angeles, I would assist doctors and medical students in rounds at the county hospital. They asked me and other bilingual junior clinicians to interpret for their patients. Within a couple of weeks, my colleagues were asking for me by name.
After becoming a licensed vocational nurse, I went back to school to study interpretation and translation. The State Personnel Board of California certified me to interpret in medical settings for injured workers.
Soon the Judicial Council of California certified me as a court interpreter. Now I also work in the federal system, having earned certification from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. Our state speaks many languages, and that’s just as true under oath.
Some of my favorite assignments have been in Mexican Sign Language, a language I learned in Mexico amid efforts to teach deaf people and their family members to communicate using standardized signs.
My skill in this language fills a rare, highly intermittent, but much needed niche. For me, it may be a two-hour job. For them, it may change their entire life.
