What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to utilize my language skills in a dynamic environment, fostering communication and understanding across cultures.

I am a passionate medical interpreter with a commitment to facilitating effective communication between individuals with limited English proficiency and healthcare providers. Currently, I am working as a contractor with One World Global Service, where I provide foreign language interpreting services in French, Kinyarwanda, Swahili, and Kirundi. My role involves not only translating spoken language but also ensuring that cultural nuances are respected and understood, which is crucial in a healthcare setting.

Previously, I served as a translator and interpreter for Caritas International in Congo, where I guided foreign tourists and mediated communications between staff and clients. My experience has equipped me with the ability to maintain confidentiality and uphold organizational integrity while delivering precise translations. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts at Kigali Independent University, which further enhances my skills and knowledge in this field.
