What I'm looking for

I seek interpreting roles in medical, legal, NGO, or corporate settings that value accuracy, confidentiality, remote and onsite flexibility, and opportunities for professional development.

I am a certified and detail-oriented interpreter fluent in Swahili, Somali, and English with over three years of professional experience providing accurate consecutive and simultaneous interpreting for healthcare, legal, and business settings.

I have supported international clients, NGOs, and corporate organizations both onsite and remotely, delivering culturally appropriate communication while maintaining confidentiality and linguistic precision during sensitive consultations and multilingual meetings.

My background includes a Bachelor of Education focused on languages and communication, formal training in conference and remote interpreting, HIPAA compliance, and ongoing professional development through ProZ and Coursera; I am an active member of ProZ and volunteer with Translators Without Borders.
