Navigating Healthcare, Court, and Conference Interpreting
Presenter: Liz Essary

In 2013, she was sworn in as a certified court interpreter through the Indiana State Supreme Court. In 2016, she completed a Master’s of Conference Interpreting at the Glendon School of Translation at York University in Toronto.

Can any interpreter work anywhere, no matter the setting? What does it take to move from one setting to another? In this webinar, Liz Essary shares her experience moving from healthcare to court to conference interpreting, and back again. She gives specific examples of skills used in each setting, finding the differences and similarities among them all.
