¡Saludos! My name is Marisa Rueda Will.
I am a CCHI Commissioner and worked as a Spanish healthcare interpreter at Mayo Clinic from 2006-2026. I became a Certified Healthcare Interpreter-Spanish in 2012, and a licensed interpreter trainer through Cross-Cultural Communications in 2017. I serve as a member of the National Council on Interpreting in Health Care Webinars Work Group and have provided interpreter training workshops for many national organizations and hospitals, including the ATA, NCIHC, CHIA, Mayo Clinic, and Stanford Medicine. In 2026, I graduated with a Master’s in Interpreting Studies from Western Oregon University. My company, Tica Interpreter Training and Translations, focuses on training and educating novice and advanced medical interpreters, based on real-life patient experiences.
Tica Interpreter Training and Translations’ Mission
Tica Interpreter Training and Translations believes in working toward closing the healthcare inequality gap by training, educating, and empowering novice and advanced medical interpreters. The interpreter training program was designed with real life examples to adequately prepare interpreters before they even set foot in a hospital setting. Affordable training options are available in an online format easily adaptable to anyone’s schedule, with individualized and group options.
Promoting a healthy work-life balance for interpreters is at the core of all our programs. We also believe in serving patients and the community through translation services. We specialize in translating medical documents from Spanish to English, and also provide English to Spanish translations of documents for small businesses.
