NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I interpret Hausa and Arabic for medical and legal communication at TranslateUK, Give Me Your Word (GMYW), UK, and other language service providers. My work includes healthcare consultations, mental health and cognitive assessments, and asylum interviews, where I convey questions and explanations while maintaining accuracy, impartiality, and confidentiality.
