Marie Cabeza

With over six years of experience as a medical interpreter, I contribute to Beth Israel Lahey Health by facilitating effective communication between Spanish-speaking patients and healthcare providers. I work in outpatient, inpatient, emergency, and procedural care settings to ensure high-quality patient care through accurate interpretation and translation. I bridge cultural gaps, advocate for patients when necessary, and educate healthcare teams on the role of interpreters.

I am also proficient in medical translation, proofreading, and post-editing with machine translation tools, such as ChatGPT. I am committed to continuous professional development, as demonstrated by my certifications and specialized training in medical and community interpreting. I promote equitable and compassionate healthcare delivery for diverse patient populations by fostering understanding and communication.
