Fatoumata Ba
@fatoumataba
Dedicated interpreter and translator passionate about language and communication.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced interpreter, translator, and linguist with a strong commitment to helping individuals navigate their daily challenges through effective communication. My journey began with a passion for languages, and I have dedicated myself to mastering several, including English, French, Swedish, Wolof, and Manding. This linguistic proficiency allows me to facilitate understanding and connection among diverse groups of people.
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in customer service and interpretation. I worked at Hotel Boundou Bakel, where I welcomed clients and ensured their comfort. My role as a Trade Finance Executive at Euro Exim Bank further honed my skills in a professional setting. As a freelance interpreter and translator since 2018, I have had the privilege of working with various clients, including a recent project with UN Women, where I provided interpretation services. My goal is to continue using my language skills to make a positive impact in the lives of others.
