SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1Flavio M. PosseCourt Certified English - Spanish InterpreterRancho Palos Verdes, CaliforniaContact me at fposse@I am a native Spanish speaker, English is my second language and I can converse (very poorly, I might add) in Portuguese.I grew up in a suburb west of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I obtained a technical degree roughly equivalent in the U.S. to two years of mechanical engineering. I was trained as an aircraft mechanic by Aerolíneas Argentinas and worked in different areas of the company for three years before leaving for the United States in 1981. I worked many jobs, for others and for myself, before discovering I had a knack for interpretation. While studying at the Southern California School of Interpretation I took classes on Over the Phone Interpretation (OPI). I got my first interpreting job as an OPI interpreter with TeleInterpreters Inc. in 2005. After acquiring state certification as a court interpreter from the California Judicial Council in 2006 I started working as an independent contractor for the Los Angeles Superior Court and in the private sector by interpreting at depositions, conferences and various assignments in the medical field. In 2007 I passed the Federal Court Interpreter Certification Examination (FCICE). I am now employed full time by the Los Angeles County Superior Court. During the course of my employment with the county I have translated many documents which are currently used in court. Periodically, I prepare transcriptions/translations for the Public Defender’s Office and for the District Attorney’s Office. A Transcription/Translation, known in court parlance as TT, is a very complex task. The job requires listening to an audio/video recording, preparing a transcript of said material and translating it into the target language. The resulting translation is introduced in court proceedings as documentary evidence.I collaborate at the Southern California School of Interpretation in the capacity of oral mock exam proctor and part time instructor preparing students to take the California State Certification Exam. I participate in because I love the interaction with my peers, I can help others by sharing what I know, and because I learn a great deal from the talented professionals who answer the most difficult questions imaginable and amaze me with their knowledge day in and day out.Qualification2006State Certified Court Interpreter.By The California Judicial Council.2007Federally Certified Court Interpreter.By The Administrative Office of the United States Courts.Education 2007Southern California School of Interpretation.
