Navajo Tradiktè yo nan Iowa

Trained at Northern Arizona University and fluent in Navajo since childhood, I bring both academic rigor and native-speaker intuition to every translation project I take on.

My focus is medical translation — I work as a certified Navajo translator in hospitals, clinics, and telehealth settings, ensuring HIPAA-compliant communication between healthcare providers and Navajo-speaking patients. From informed consent to discharge instructions, accuracy saves lives.

I am a proud member of IMIA (International Medical Interpreters Association) and bring specialized expertise to every medical Navajo translation assignment I undertake.

My journey into Navajo translation began at Northern Arizona University, where I earned my degree in linguistics and discovered a passion for bridging language barriers.

My area of expertise is financial and banking translation — I translate annual reports, audit findings, compliance documents, and investment prospectuses between Navajo and English. Clients rely on my professional Navajo translation services when accuracy and confidentiality are non-negotiable.

I offer same-day and emergency Navajo translation services, because I understand that language needs do not always follow a 9-to-5 schedule — my clients have my commitment around the clock.

A former educator from the Navajo Nation, I transitioned into full-time Navajo translation after 16 years of teaching, bringing strong communication skills and cultural sensitivity to every assignment.

As a professional Navajo translator, I serve the education sector, supporting IEP meetings, parent-teacher conferences, school enrollment processes, and special education evaluations. I ensure Navajo-speaking families fully understand and participate in their children's education.

As an ATA-certified Navajo translator, I follow the association's continuing education requirements and stay at the forefront of translation technology and methodology.

I was born in Window Rock, the Navajo Nation, and moved to the U.S. as a teenager — an experience that taught me the critical role a skilled Navajo translator plays in people's lives.

I offer professional Navajo translation services in the manufacturing and supply chain sector, covering quality control documentation, ISO certifications, safety protocols, and vendor contracts. My technical fluency in both Navajo and English ensures nothing is lost in translation.

I hold a sworn translator designation recognized by consulates and embassies, enabling me to provide notarized Navajo translation accepted internationally.

Following a career in diplomacy in the Navajo Nation, I brought my Navajo language expertise to the United States and began offering professional translation services.

Specializing in academic and research translation, I handle journal articles, dissertations, grant proposals, and institutional correspondence between Navajo and English. Researchers and universities trust my professional Navajo translation services for publication-ready accuracy.

Holding certifications from both the ATA and the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters, I am uniquely qualified to provide medical and legal Navajo translation services.

Life in the Navajo Nation prepared me with fluency in Navajo; life in America showed me how desperately that skill is needed — so I became a professional translator.

As a court-certified Navajo translator, I provide simultaneous interpretation and consecutive interpretation for federal and state courts. My caseload includes immigration hearings, depositions, arbitrations, and asylum cases requiring the highest standard of professional Navajo translation services.

Clients consistently praise my reliability, cultural competence, and attention to detail — qualities I consider essential for any professional Navajo translator.

My bilingual upbringing in Window Rock gave me native fluency in Navajo, and my subsequent training in the U.S. equipped me to work as a professional translator across multiple specialized fields.

My specialization is healthcare translation, where I work as a Navajo translator across mental health, oncology, pediatrics, and emergency medicine settings. As a HIPAA-compliant medical translator, I facilitate critical communication for Navajo-speaking patients navigating the U.S. healthcare system.

I am committed to quick turnaround times without sacrificing quality — my clients know they can count on me for accurate Navajo translation even under tight deadlines.
