yousuf dahir

I am an experienced interpreter and translator who provides exact language services in both the source and destination languages. My strength is expressing the exact meaning of the original language while taking cultural nuances into account, with a strong commitment to interpreting ethics and data confidentiality.

At Nairobi Hospital, I promptly answered calls and provided interpretation in a polite and professional manner, following client instructions and protocols to ensure expectations were met with Limited English Speaking Person (LEP) support. At UNHCR, I comprehended and communicated complex verbal information in English and Swahili to medical staff and patients, and translated live speeches, audio recordings, and documents while paying close attention to tone and technical terminology.

More recently, at Balance of Translation Longhorn Publishers, I worked with LEP callers and provided simultaneous Somali-English interpretation for healthcare, banking, insurance, hospitality, and federal government contexts. I helped major clients with communication needs throughout the United States of America, ensuring clarity by identifying phrases with contradictory meanings and staying extremely good at customer satisfaction, listening, and working with limited supervision.
