@fertunagebremedhin
Interpreter specializing in Amharic & Tigrigna, delivering clear medical, legal communication.
EthiopiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a dynamic, detail-oriented interpreter with a strong background in Amharic & Tigrigna language pairs. I deliver real-time consecutive interpretation across medical, social, financial, and legal contexts—helping people feel understood with clarity and precision in every interaction.
Before focusing full-time on interpreting, I built deep analytical and client-facing experience as a Senior Insurance Underwriter, strengthening my ability to evaluate risk, explain decisions, and communicate accurately under pressure. I bring additional credibility through interpreter training (including medical terminology and HIPAA compliance), and I’m excited to continue supporting organizations with reliable language access and dependable communication.
