Leila Reaves
@leilareaves
French/Arabic medical interpreter and engineering technician delivering clear, accurate communication.
What I'm looking for
I’m a French/Arabic Medical Interpreter working remotely since March 2019, supporting clear, patient-centered communication with strong “Phone etiquette” and medical terminology fluency.
Before focusing fully on interpreting, I built a long engineering and drafting track—serving as Engineering Technician and Drafting and Design Engineering Technician across Birmingham-area employers, where I contributed to engineering/design work and practical technical documentation.
Today, I bring that same precision to every interaction: multilingual interpretation, hospital experience, and administrative support, paired with hands-on technical skills like AutoCAD, Microsoft Excel, and computer networking, plus teaching and math experience working with students.
