Summary
Maria has had a life-long passion for languages. Her experience with court interpreting and foreign language instruction led her to Transcend -- an innovative language services company dedicated to culturally competent translations in over 50 languages. She continues to teach, including courses in plain language, readability, focus group testing, and forms development. Most of Maria's students are attorneys, judges, and court staff who want to learn how to communicate more effectively with pro se litigants. As CEO of Transcend, Maria is proud of the teamwork and combined expertise of her project managers, proofreaders, artists, and linguists, who together make miracles happen! Specialties: Literacy adaptation of legal, health, education and consumer documents. Court forms, instructions, and legal notices. Translation for ethnic markets and field testing and focus groups.
