Working for one of the largest providers of Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI) for close to five years gave Rocío the chance to acquire a lot of experience in the field of community interpreting.

She started her career in this field as a part-time over-the-phone English-Spanish interpreter in 1995 and quickly became involved in several aspects of the field. After a short time as an interpreter, she was invited to participate in the development of interpreter training materials, quality control procedures and standards, and applicant screening methods. During the last 2 years of her work for the OPI provider, Rocío worked as a recruiting manager and represented the company at universities and professional events.

Rocío is no longer involved in the interpreting field.
