Mohammed Ramadhan
@mohammedramadhan
Experienced interpreter and translator supporting asylum and humanitarian services through accurate cross-cultural communication.
What I'm looking for
I am Mohamed Ramadhan, a dedicated interpreter and translator with extensive experience in humanitarian aid organizations across Greece. I facilitate communication between refugees and aid workers, ensuring crucial information is accurately conveyed and understood through Kurdish (Badene, Kurmanaji, Sorani, Gorani), Arabic, English, and Greek.
In my recent role as an interpreter for Frontex in Leros, Greece, I supported the Volunteerian Return program by facilitating communication between authorities and refugees. I previously worked with METAdrasi in Serres, providing interpretation in first reception processes, psychological sessions, and for legal, medical, and social services—while maintaining strict confidentiality, neutrality, and cultural sensitivity.
