What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values clear communication and cultural sensitivity in healthcare.

I am an experienced En<>Ar medical interpreter with over 2000 hours of practice and a HIPAA certification. My expertise lies in facilitating clear and accurate communication between patients and healthcare providers, particularly in high-pressure environments. I specialize in medical consultations, diagnostics, and mental health assessments, ensuring confidentiality and optimal care.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, including GLOBO and LanguageLine Solutions, where I delivered medical interpretation for primary care and specialty consultations. My role as a live media interpreter for Alghad TV and Nile TV has honed my skills in real-time interpretation, allowing me to navigate fast-paced political and cultural discussions effectively.

In addition to my interpreting work, I have contributed as a translator and editor for various projects, enhancing my linguistic precision and intercultural awareness. I am passionate about bridging language barriers and supporting diverse communities in accessing essential services.
