Seasoned medical interpreter fluent in Amharic and Tigrigna with 8+ years' experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Interpreter with over eight years of professional experience specializing in Amharic and Tigrigna interpretation. I reliably translate questions and requests clearly and accurately while preserving intent and conversation integrity.
I have worked across healthcare, education, social services, and legal settings — including hospitals, school meetings, social worker and family meetings, court, and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) meetings. As an independent contractor I also assist with written documents and oral communication.
I pride myself on strong communication, medical terminology knowledge, and bilingual written and reading skills, and I am hardworking, driven, and comfortable facing challenges in fast-paced, sensitive environments.
