Somali Entèprèt yo nan Hawaii

My journey into Somali interpretation began at Somali National University, where I earned my degree in linguistics and discovered a passion for bridging language barriers.

Focused on legal interpretation, I offer professional Somali interpretation services for law firms, covering depositions, witness preparation, trial proceedings, and document review. My understanding of both common-law and civil-law systems makes me a valuable asset for cross-border litigation.

Holding certifications from both the ATA and the Certification Commission for Healthcare Interpreters, I am uniquely qualified to provide medical and legal Somali interpretation services.

After practicing law in Somalia for several years, I pivoted to Somali interpretation in the U.S., bringing a unique legal perspective to my work as a interpreter.

As a certified Somali interpreter, I work extensively in government and federal agency settings, supporting law enforcement interviews, social services cases, and federal court proceedings. My professional Somali interpretation services meet the strict standards required by government contracts.

I offer same-day and emergency Somali interpretation services, because I understand that language needs do not always follow a 9-to-5 schedule — my clients have my commitment around the clock.

Coming from a family of translators and interpreters in Somalia, I inherited both a love of language and a commitment to precision that defines my work as a Somali interpreter.

My interpretation practice serves the hospitality, tourism, and aviation industries — I provide Somali to English and English to Somali interpretation for training manuals, safety briefings, guest communications, and regulatory documentation.

I carry professional liability insurance, maintain strict confidentiality protocols, and treat every Somali interpretation assignment — large or small — with the same level of professionalism.

Military service stationed me around the world, but it was my Somali heritage from Djibouti that ultimately led me to a fulfilling career as a professional interpreter.

As a court-certified Somali interpreter, I provide simultaneous interpretation and consecutive interpretation for federal and state courts. My caseload includes immigration hearings, depositions, arbitrations, and asylum cases requiring the highest standard of professional Somali interpretation services.

Recognized by peers and clients alike for exceptional accuracy, I have maintained a 99% client satisfaction rate across 21 years of professional Somali interpretation services.

Studying at University of Hargeisa gave me the formal training, but it was growing up bilingual in Mogadishu, Somalia, that gave me the instinct and cultural fluency I rely on every day as a Somali interpreter.

I provide sworn interpretation and notarized document interpretation services in Somali, handling birth certificates, marriage licenses, academic transcripts, diplomas, and immigration-related documents. Every certified Somali interpretation I deliver is accepted by USCIS, courts, and academic institutions.

With 14 years of experience and security clearance for government work, I offer professional Somali interpretation services that meet the most demanding confidentiality requirements.

My path to becoming a Somali interpreter started unexpectedly — after years in the healthcare industry in Somalia, I realized my true calling was helping people communicate across languages.

I offer professional Somali interpretation services specializing in document translation for legal, financial, and corporate clients. My work includes certified and notarized translations of contracts, patents, financial disclosures, and regulatory filings — all delivered with meticulous attention to detail.

My credentials include HIPAA compliance training, CCHI certification, and ongoing continuing education to stay current with best practices in professional Somali interpretation.

A former educator from Somalia, I transitioned into full-time Somali interpretation after 18 years of teaching, bringing strong communication skills and cultural sensitivity to every assignment.

My practice centers on immigration and asylum interpretation, where I serve as a certified Somali interpreter for USCIS interviews, credible fear screenings, and immigration court proceedings. I understand the stakes involved and bring both precision and empathy to every Somali to English assignment.

Available for on-site, remote, and telephone Somali interpretation assignments, I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate urgent and after-hours requests.
