“Some people touch you hard to make a difference. Others - it is a light brush that causes change and the pursuit of excellence to begin. Carlos – the man in purple – is the latter.
Personally - Carlos has been a friend and lover of the life we get to experience each day.
Professionally - Carlos has served as a translator testing service for our corrections facility. Carlos’ insight ensures our Officers, have the experience, fluency and ability to quickly/precisely translate our inmate’s claims, messages and statements fluidly from Spanish to English and back. Carlos examines our Officers personally when testing their fluency in the Spanish word and lexicon. His certification process, both verbal and written, provides a valued assessment of the expertise and fluency we can call upon in even the most stressed of situations. Carlos is complete, thorough and a voice of expertise when completing our Officer’s testing regime.
I would happily provide more detailed insights to Carlos and his benefit to you personally or to your business and facility - if you only let him in!!”
