Problems I help solve
The real challenges of communicating healthcare in Spanish
- Healthcare organizations often struggle with Spanish-language materials that look "translated," but don't actually work.
- Bilingual staff pulled into ad-hoc translation and review, slowing down clinical and operational work.
- Medical content that is technically accurate but confusing or inaccessible for patients.
- Language that creates friction in review processes or misses its intended audience.
- Disorganized workflows where translation is treated as a last-minute task.
I help turn these obstacles into clarity, trust, and streamlined processes by flagging potentially problematic language early, adapting content to its true audience, and preventing problems upstream—before they become delays, rewrites, or avoidable compliance concerns.

Hi, I'm Julieta
I'm an ATA-certified English–Spanish medical translator with a background in law and plain language.
Since 2017, I've worked in U.S. healthcare, helping organizations create Spanish medical communication that is accurate, accessible, and culturally responsive for Latino communities. I've supported public health campaigns, patient-facing materials, and high-stakes healthcare content where clarity and trust truly matter.
I also bring hands-on experience as an in-house translator and project manager at a California-based medical translation agency. That means I don't just deliver translations—I integrate smoothly into your workflows, anticipate risks, and help teams move faster without sacrificing quality or compliance.
My work sits at the intersection of language, healthcare systems, and patient understanding—so Spanish-speaking patients can navigate care with confidence, and healthcare teams can communicate with clarity and purpose.
