What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my communication skills in a dynamic environment, focusing on media and social issues.

I am Mohamed Jirow, an experienced interpreter currently working with the European Asylum Support Office in Greece. My journey in the field of communication began with my role as an investigative journalist at Sabahi Online, where I honed my skills in storytelling and analysis. My background in political science and journalism from Mogadishu University has equipped me with a strong foundation in understanding complex social issues.

Throughout my career, I have also worked as an interpreter at the New Genesis Center in Nicosia, Cyprus, where I facilitated communication for individuals seeking asylum. My experience as a photographer at Horn Afrik TV and Radio further enriched my understanding of media and its impact on society. I am proficient in MS Office and have completed basic accountancy courses, which complement my communication skills.
