Compassionate bilingual medical interpreter bridging clinical communication across diverse languages and cultures.
What I'm looking for
I am a compassionate bilingual medical interpreter with seven years of experience facilitating accurate, culturally sensitive communication between healthcare providers and patients across highly regulated environments. I specialize in medical terminology, consecutive and remote interpretation (OPI & VRI), document translation, and patient advocacy, consistently improving patient outcomes and satisfaction.
My background includes hospital-based interpreting in Abu Dhabi and community support roles in Seattle, supplemented by formal training in medical interpreting, infection control, and communication. I build trust quickly, foster cross-cultural understanding, and reliably support clinical teams to ensure clear, safe patient care.
