What I'm looking for
I’m a Medical Interpreter and Translator with 2+ years of experience in remote interpretation and multilingual communication. I focus on accurate, ethical, culturally sensitive, and confidential language access for clients, patients, professionals, and organizations.
In my recent roles, I provide over-the-phone (OPI) and video remote (VRI) interpretation from Rohingya to English and from English to Rohingya. I support effective communication across healthcare, legal assistance, and social services, ensuring clarity in high-stakes conversations.
I’ve also built experience interpreting in social, business, and legal settings, handling complex discussions while maintaining neutrality and cultural sensitivity. My training includes Remote Medical Interpreter training with a 40-hour assessment, plus HIPAA and Fraud, Abuse and Waste training to support compliant communication.
Fluent in Rohingya, Burmese, Bengali, and English, I work with consecutive and simultaneous interpretation and prioritize trust, confidentiality, and professionalism every time I interpret or translate.
