Temesgen Ambaw

I've delivered real-time Amharic-English medical interpretation for US-based healthcare providers through Thebigword, supporting emergency, primary care, specialist, and behavioral health settings.

I also provide on-demand interpretation through Multilingual Tech for medical appointments, mental health sessions, and social services. I bridge cultural misunderstandings between Ethiopian/Eritrean patients and Western clinical staff while supporting clear, impartial communication.

At Multilingual International, I conducted telephonic and video remote sessions for general and specialized medical appointments, navigating complex clinical scenarios, ambiguous terminology, and dialect variations in real time.

As a native Amharic speaker fluent in English, I bring 3+ years of experience across OPI, VRI, and on-site modalities. I work with cultural sensitivity, HIPAA confidentiality, and NCIHC/IMIA ethical standards, and I’m available for remote interpretation and relocation.
