Krio Interpreters in Michigan

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

Literary and creative interpretation is my passion — I provide Krio interpretation services for publishers, authors, and media companies, adapting novels, screenplays, subtitles, and marketing campaigns while preserving voice, tone, and cultural nuance between Krio and English.

I hold a sworn interpreter designation recognized by consulates and embassies, enabling me to provide notarized Krio interpretation accepted internationally.

Educated at Njala University, I specialized in applied linguistics with a focus on Krio, and have since accumulated 21 years of hands-on interpretation experience.

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

I hold state and federal court certification as a Krio interpreter and have been qualified as an expert in legal interpretation in numerous court proceedings.

I come from a long line of multilingual professionals in Freetown, Sierra Leone, and chose to honor that heritage by becoming a certified Krio interpreter.

Specializing in academic and research interpretation, I handle journal articles, dissertations, grant proposals, and institutional correspondence between Krio and English. Researchers and universities trust my professional Krio interpretation services for publication-ready accuracy.

Backed by 22 years of experience and a deep respect for accuracy, I deliver Krio interpretation services that clients trust for their most consequential communications.

Growing up in Freetown, I was immersed in Krio language and culture from birth, and after completing my studies at Njala University, I pursued professional interpretation as my calling.

As a professional Krio interpreter, I serve the education sector, supporting IEP meetings, parent-teacher conferences, school enrollment processes, and special education evaluations. I ensure Krio-speaking families fully understand and participate in their children's education.

My commitment to the Krio-speaking community goes beyond professional interpretation — I volunteer with local organizations to expand language access for underserved populations.

Studying at Njala University gave me the formal training, but it was growing up bilingual in Bo, Sierra Leone, that gave me the instinct and cultural fluency I rely on every day as a Krio interpreter.

I provide over-the-phone and video remote interpretation as a certified Krio interpreter, supporting hospitals, courts, insurance companies, and government agencies with on-demand professional Krio interpretation services available on short notice.

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

Language has always been central to my identity — born in Freetown, Sierra Leone, I spoke Krio before I could write, and today I channel that foundation into my work as a interpreter.

As a court-certified Krio 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 Krio interpretation services.

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

Trained at University of Sierra Leone and fluent in Krio since childhood, I bring both academic rigor and native-speaker intuition to every interpretation project I take on.

As a medical interpreter, I deliver HIPAA-compliant Krio interpretation for hospitals, mental health facilities, and outpatient clinics. My interpretation work spans patient intake, surgical consent, psychiatric evaluations, and end-of-life care discussions.

Court-certified in multiple jurisdictions, I bring 7 years of proven accuracy to every Krio interpretation engagement and maintain an impeccable professional record.
