My name is John Vaughn, owner of JV Translator, LLC. Thank you for visiting my website. I am an experienced Spanish interpreter certified by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts as a federally certified court interpreter, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, the New Mexico Judiciary Administrative Office of the Courts, and the National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters, as well as licensed by the Judicial Branch Certification Commission of Texas.

An avid researcher, I am also well organized, proficient at using computer software and office technology, highly self-motivated, polite, empathetic, and highly satisfied when helping others.
