Huge congratulations to this amazing group of interpreters who just completed 60 hours of training! From future independent contractors to clinic staff growing their skills, and even high school grads earning their diplomas and medical assistant and interpreting qualifications, this cohort was truly one of a kind. 💚

Some of the students were a little shy (we totally understand! 😊), but every single one of them brought heart, growth, and commitment to the journey.

Big thanks to Valeria, our incredible trainer, for leading this group with so much care and intention. Each session is more than just a class, it’s a space for growth, connection, and preparing to serve our communities through language access.⁠

🌟 Interpreter Spotlight: Marco Muñoz 🌟⁠

From customer service in his home country of Nicaragua to full-time Spanish interpreter at Linguava, Marco’s journey is one of growth, heart, and purpose.⁠

He started with little experience, but his passion for language and commitment to learning quickly stood out. “I’m so proud of how far he’s come,” shares Guillermo. “He’s proven himself, and he’s just getting started.”⁠

Outside of interpreting, Marco enjoys jiujitsu, fútbol, and creating music—singing, playing guitar, and writing. He’s also learning Ukrainian to connect with a friend and support the local community here in the PNW.⁠

Thank you, Marco, for the heart, dedication, and curiosity you bring to every conversation. We’re so grateful to have you in the Linguava family. 💚⁠
