SomaliaWhat I'm looking for
I am an interpreter and field researcher with a Bachelor in Human Resource Management and eight years' practical experience in project implementation, monitoring, and community engagement. I combine language skills with data-focused work to support humanitarian and development programs.
I have provided accurate, culturally sensitive interpretation (English, Kiswahili, Arabic, Somali) in meetings, interviews, workshops and field visits, maintaining neutrality and confidentiality. I have also delivered freelance interpretation and supported communication between local and international staff.
In field roles with World Vision Somalia I collected quantitative and qualitative data through surveys, interviews and observations, contributed to analysis and reporting, and supported project planning and monitoring. I use IT tools for project monitoring and data analysis to ensure high-quality, timely deliverables.
I am a committed team player with strong communication, problem-solving and ethical standards, focused on community service, capacity building and achieving measurable impact in humanitarian and development contexts.
