What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values cultural competence and offers opportunities for professional growth in healthcare communication.

As a dedicated Medical English Interpreter, I have honed my skills in facilitating communication between healthcare providers and patients from diverse backgrounds. My experience spans across various medical departments, including ENT, Gastroenterology, and Cardiology, where I ensure that critical medical information is accurately conveyed and understood.

My journey began as an Online Medical Interpreter, where I provided translation services in a remote setting, adapting to the demands of a multicultural environment. At FV Hospital, I served as the personal interpreter for a renowned neurosurgeon, bridging cultural gaps and ensuring confidentiality in all interactions. Currently, I am with Vinmec International Hospital, where I continue to apply my expertise in medical interpretation, simplifying complex medical jargon for patients.
