What I'm looking for

I want to strengthen my professional skills while serving the humanity through accurate, culturally sensitive interpretation and reliable documentation—especially in remote OPI/VRI medical or community calls, where confidentiality and quality standards matter.

I’m a Pashto-English interpreter with over 5 years of experience in humanitarian fieldwork. I’ve supported project implementation, assessments, and data collection for organizations like Kuchwan Welfare Organization and the Afghan Red Crescent Society. I’m skilled in using tools like ODK and KoBo Toolbox, and I’m passionate about empowering vulnerable communities. Fluent in Pashto and Dari, I build strong relationships with local stakeholders to ensure successful project outcomes.
