Constance Zhang
Mandarin/English Interpreter
Carrollton,TX
Summary
My name is Constance Zhang. I was born in China in the city of Tian Jin. I came to the United States shortly after i graduated from college with hopes to further my education in English and communications. English came very naturally when i was little and i developed a love and eagerness to communicate with others in foreign countries. Fast forward and I am now married and have been a full time mom for the past couple years to my 4 year old son Mark. My husband and i feel that Mark is ready to start his own academic journey so i have been getting back to pursuing my own personal goals in interpreting. I have been working as a full time mandarin interpreter for almost 2 years now. My work is specialized in consecutive and simultaneous translation. I work regularly at the local hospital and court houses, and always getting positive feedbacks from my clients after finishing the job.
