¡Hola! I'm Gloria...
I was born and raised in Lima, Peru, where I worked as a physician-surgeon. After relocating to the U.S., I pursued formal training and became an English/Spanish translator and a certified medical interpreter (CMI and CHI) and California court interpreter.
At Blue Urpi, I combine my medical background and experience with my lifelong passion for cross-cultural communication to create practical and engaging webinars that are both educational and fun!
New to webinars?
Watch one of my freebies.
Are you CMI, CHI, or DSHS certified?
Blue Urpi webinars offer more than just useful terminology and simplified explanations of complex concepts.
They provide real-life translation and interpreting tips, all while earning CEUs!
We have CEUs approved by NBCMI/IMIA (CMI), CCHI/CEAP (CHI), and DSHS from WA State.
What Makes Blue Urpi Webinars Different?
Every webinar has a Spanish version, for English/Spanish translators and interpreters, and a language neutral version in English for LOTS (languages other than Spanish).
You can attend a live, instructor-led webinar and get the replay or you can purchase a recorded, non-instructor led webinar and get a certificate of completion and CEUs.
Learn new terminology, improve your translation and interpreting skills, get CEUs, and much more in your pajamas from home or anywhere!
Learn complex medical concepts and real-life interpreting tips in an easy way and also get CEUs for ATA, CHI (CCHI), CMI (NBCMI), DSHS, and CIMCEs. More CEUs coming soon!
If you attend a live webinar, miss it, or purchase it, you receive your own site where you can access the class recording. Feel free to pause it and watch it as often as you want!
Once you purchase a webinar, you have access to your own learning site. This is where you can find all your recordings, handouts, terminology lists, and more.
Here’s what our Happy Students have to say…
⦿ Amanda Goodwin
Gloria is an excellent teacher that is detail oriented and pleasant to listen to during the webinars. The content of each webinar is interesting and very informative every time. I look forward to future webinars with her!
⦿ Karla Arreola
I have attended several of Gloria’s webinars. I am a student and her webinars have helped me a lot. She is able to explain concepts in a way that make sense right away. It’s not just memorization of vocabulary, she uses a lot of visuals such as pictures and diagrams so we have an understanding of what we are saying. I highly recommend Gloria’s webinars and look forward to the next one.

⦿ Andrea Parsons
I have now taken 2 of Gloria’s webinars. Both were incredibly informative, as well as engaging. One was on the best, most reliable online resources. The second was on Latino Culture. Since taking both classes, I have utilized the recommended sites and strategies. I look forward to taking more of Gloria’s webinars; allowing me to add to my interpreter “bag of tricks.”
