Pre-Encounter
My name is Jacqueline and I will be your Spanish interpreter. I will be your voice; therefore, when I talk, I will speak in the first person as if I were you. Please look at and speak directly to the client. I will repeat everything you say. If you do not wish the client to know something, please do not say it.
