Rudy Téllez was born in La Paz-Bolivia. In 1988, the family moved to the Philadelphia area. Rudy obtained his Bachelor's degree in Communications from West Chester University of PA, and his Masters of Education from Kutztown University of PA.

He’s a court certified, medical certified, and conference interpreter, and serves as an adjunct professor of interpretation for the Master’s degree program at La Salle University. 

Interpreting, he says, has taken him to places like Guadalajara, Mexico, and Medellin, Colombia with paid jobs.

In 2019, Rudy organized a small group of interpreters in Pennsylvania to address compensation for court certified interpreters, later, along with 2 other colleagues, they formed the Tri State Language Access Coalition which successfully pushed the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts to update compensation for the first time ever in 14 years. On January 1, 2021 the new compensation began.
