Esther Hermida, a certified Spanish interpreter in California and Federal courts, talks about starting her interpreting career, getting certified, and her experience with television simulcast interpreting and dialect coaching. We also discuss AB-5, the newly adopted California law that affects independent contractors, including translators and interpreters, and Esther’s involvement with CoPTIC, a group that is pushing for an exemption for translators and interpreters.
