EDUCATION [ 08/00-5/11 ] UAF Fairbanks, AK B.A. Foreign Language Spanish and a Minor: Psychology SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS I am a native Spanish speaker from Puerto Rico. I attended the University of Fairbanks Alaska and graduated with a B.A. in Foreign Language and a minor in Psychology. I have been translating from a very young age for my family as well as other non-English speakers. My parents got married at a very young age and my father joined the military when I was one month old. The first place we moved to was Germany and my mother did not know English or German. By the age of five I learned English, Spanish, and a little bit of German. For a while I was my mother's personal translator and later one I helped her learn English. When we came to the US my parents became religious and I would often be called upon to be a personal translator for any non-English speaker in the church. Later my parents became pastors and my duties as a personal translator switched to public translator. As my father would give the sermon in Spanish I would translate from Spanish to English to the audience. I am currently working in the hospital in the laboratory where my duties include drawing blood from patients for diagnostic testing and I have often been used as a translator for non-English speaking patients. I have also been under subpoena by the court as an impromptu translator because I assisted a court Psychiatrist in speaking with a non-English speaking patient.
