About Julie Burns

My Background

Thanks to a south of the border upbringing, I have a bicultural and bilingual background. I was born in California and since age 3 raised and educated bilingually in Mexico, Colombia and Guatemala. Thus, I consider both English and Spanish as my native languages.

Bilingual and Bicultural Skills

An apprenticeship to a medical anthropologist/pediatrician in Guatemala sparked my lifelong interest in health education and the fascinating interconnection between language, culture, and health. Today, I provide Spanish Translation and Interpretation services and Medical Interpreter training through The Communication Bridge.
