About the Presenter

Having been raised in a bilingual home and spending summers abroad, Jorge Ungo's transition into the language industry in 2002 was a perfect fit with his interest in languages and cultures. After a stint as the director of business operations for an international interpreting program, he became the Southwest Region Manager for Pacific Interpreters – a nationwide leader in healthcare interpreting. In his role as regional manager, Jorge consults with health and social service organizations throughout the southwestern United States on how to design and implement cost-effective, highly efficient language access programs.

Jorge frequently presents at regional, national and international conferences on issues of language access and interpreter evaluation and training.

In addition to his work with Pacific Interpreters, Jorge serves as President of the Texas Association of Healthcare Interpreters and Translators (TAHIT), on the board of the Texas Alliance for Patient Services (TAPS) and a board member and finance co-chair of the National Council on Interpreting in Healthcare (NCIHC). He was the founding acting assistant administrator of the American Translators Association Medical Division (ATA-MD).

He has also served his local community as both liaison officer and director of professional development for the Houston Interpreters and Translators Association (HITA).
