Navajo Translators in Massachusetts

Coming from a family of translators and interpreters in the Navajo Nation, I inherited both a love of language and a commitment to precision that defines my work as a Navajo translator.

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.

My credentials include HIPAA compliance training, CCHI certification, and ongoing continuing education to stay current with best practices in professional Navajo translation.

My bilingual upbringing in Shiprock 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 practice centers on immigration and asylum translation, where I serve as a certified Navajo translator for USCIS interviews, credible fear screenings, and immigration court proceedings. I understand the stakes involved and bring both precision and empathy to every Navajo to English assignment.

My approach combines linguistic precision with genuine cultural competence — I do not just convert words between Navajo and English, I ensure the full meaning and intent are preserved.

After practicing law in the Navajo Nation for several years, I pivoted to Navajo translation in the U.S., bringing a unique legal perspective to my work as a translator.

I provide professional Navajo translation services for the real estate and construction industry, covering closings, inspections, HOA meetings, and contractor negotiations. Whether it is a residential purchase or a commercial lease, I ensure every detail is clearly communicated in Navajo and English.

My commitment to the Navajo-speaking community goes beyond professional translation — I volunteer with local organizations to expand language access for underserved populations.

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

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.

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

Educated at Dine College, I specialized in applied linguistics with a focus on Navajo, and have since accumulated 22 years of hands-on translation experience.

I am a certified Navajo translator specializing in family law and child welfare cases, providing translation for custody hearings, CPS investigations, adoption proceedings, and domestic violence cases. Sensitivity and accuracy define every assignment I accept.

As a member of the National Association of Judiciary Interpreters and Translators (NAJIT), I adhere to a strict code of ethics and deliver certified Navajo translation of the highest caliber.

As a first-generation immigrant from Tuba City, the Navajo Nation, I understand firsthand the importance of accurate Navajo translation, which is why I have devoted 12 years to this profession.

My professional Navajo translation services focus on the energy and environmental sector, including environmental impact assessments, drilling reports, regulatory compliance documents, and safety training materials between English and Navajo.

Backed by 12 years of experience and a deep respect for accuracy, I deliver Navajo translation services that clients trust for their most consequential communications.

Before becoming a professional translator, I spent years working in international trade between the Navajo Nation and the United States, which honed my Navajo and English bilingual skills to a professional standard.

Specializing in corporate and business translation, I provide professional Navajo translation services for multinational companies, covering board meetings, earnings calls, contract negotiations, and internal communications between English and Navajo-speaking teams.

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.
