Cultural Diversity and Cultural Awareness: Stories from a COVID19 Front-Line Interpreter
Susana Tercero, Spanish Medical Interpreter - Penn State Health St. Joseph
Susana joins us to share her story – where she’s been, where she’s come from, obstacles she has overcome to get to where she is. Originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico, Susana and her husband were missionaries for 30+ years. They lived and worked in several countries but spent most time in Chile (18 years) and China (10 years). Travelling to 13 countries has helped Susana to understand why people might say or do things differently to your own culture; how it affects us in our workplace and in public, and how to respond and not react.
Susana se une a nosotros para compartir su historia: dónde ha estado, de dónde viene, los obstáculos que ha superado para llegar a donde está. Originaria de Santa Fe, Nuevo México, Susana y su esposo fueron misioneros por más de 30 años. Vivieron y trabajaron en varios países, pero pasaron la mayor parte del tiempo en Chile (18 años) y China (10 años). Viajar a 13 países le ha ayudado a Susana a comprender por qué la gente puede decir o hacer cosas de manera diferente a su propia cultura; cómo nos afecta en nuestro lugar de trabajo y en público, y cómo responder y no reaccionar.
