What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values cultural competence and effective communication.

I am a certified interpreter with extensive experience in English, Swahili, and Somali. My background includes working in both medical and customer service environments, where I have honed my skills in accurately conveying emotions, style, and content across languages. I pride myself on my ability to work effectively with individuals who have limited English proficiency, leveraging my deep understanding of cultural contexts to facilitate communication.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated quick thinking and high accuracy, particularly in high-pressure situations. My role as a Medical Interpreter at OPI/VRI-Multilingual Technologies has allowed me to support patients in navigating complex healthcare scenarios, interpreting for over 100 Somali speakers weekly. This experience has not only improved patient trust but also enhanced their understanding of medical processes, showcasing my commitment to bridging cultural gaps and improving communication.
