What I'm looking for

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

I am a dedicated and skilled interpreter with four years of experience facilitating effective communication between English, Arabic, and Somali speakers in diverse settings. My proven ability to convey cultural nuances and maintain accuracy in fast-paced environments has been a cornerstone of my professional journey. I am fluent in both verbal and written forms, adept at simultaneous and consecutive interpreting.

Throughout my career, I have honed strong interpersonal skills, which have been essential in ensuring smooth and efficient cross-cultural exchanges. I am committed to upholding confidentiality and professionalism while bridging linguistic gaps to enhance understanding and collaboration. My experience includes working with organizations like the UNHCR, where I interpreted oral conversations and translated documents, ensuring clarity and accuracy in every interaction.
