What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities where I can provide reliable Haitian Creole/French/English interpretation, keep strict confidentiality, and support clients and staff with clear, culturally sensitive communication in healthcare and legal services.

I’m a Haitian Creole/French/English interpreter focused on clear, accurate communication across high-stakes settings. Through remote and in-person work, I provide oral interpretation that helps people understand and be understood.

My experience includes medical interpretation, legal interpretation, and community service interpretation. I support clients and applicants by delivering culturally appropriate communication, assisting with eligibility and forms (including Medicaid applications), and maintaining confidentiality while following professional ethics.

I’m also committed to ethical standards and HIPAA compliance, ensuring sensitive information is handled properly. With training, certification, and language skills in Haitian Creole, English, French, and Spanish, I aim to create mutual understanding for every interaction.
