What I'm looking for

I seek remote interpreting roles (medical, legal, business) in supportive teams that value confidentiality, cultural competence, professional growth and flexible remote work.

I am a passionate multilingual interpreter with nearly five years of experience providing accurate interpretation and translation across Kinyarwanda, Kirundi, Kinyamulenge and English. I hold a Bachelor of Science with honors in Economics and professional certifications including EF SET C1 and HIPAA compliance.

My experience spans on‑site and remote interpretation for medical, education, legal, business and insurance contexts, including over‑the‑phone services with One World Global Service and Voyce, and direct support for foreign medical teams via Rwanda Village Community Promotor.

I have delivered translation, transcription and interpretation for church services, corporate meetings and freelance clients on platforms like Fiverr and Upwork, consistently emphasizing accuracy, cultural awareness and confidentiality.

I bring strong note taking, communication, self‑management and multitasking skills, and am seeking to transition into remote interpreting roles where I can scale impact while maintaining high standards of client satisfaction.
