At Language Banc, I provide on-site Somali and Swahili interpretation and translation across healthcare and insurance, with attention to cultural understanding and quality standards.

At Tyson Foods, I interpret for HR, health, training, and meetings. I also work on translation reviews, editing, and voice recording projects.

At KB Law PLLC, I supported legal services for Somali clients by interpreting attorney-client interactions and translating documents. I also prepared immigration applications, drafted pleadings, conducted legal research, and managed case files.
