Detail-oriented Kinyarwanda-English interpreter with medical experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated interpreter with experience providing medical, education, and volunteer interpretation services, specializing in Kinyarwanda and English. I deliver accurate, clear translations over phone, video remote interpreting (VRI/OPI), and onsite clinical settings.
My work history includes freelance and full-time roles supporting healthcare and customer-support communications, where I handled inbound interpretation requests, dispatched calls to interpreters, and provided onsite interpretation at a dental clinic. I have a Bachelor of Science (Honors) in Human Nutrition and Dietetics and a high school diploma with strengths in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
I combine strong interpersonal skills, active listening, cultural competence, and the ability to perform accurately under time pressure to bridge language gaps and contribute to team success in clinical and service environments.
