Hawaiian Translators in Oregon

After practicing law in Hawaii for several years, I pivoted to Hawaiian translation in the U.S., bringing a unique legal perspective to my work as a translator.

Immigration law is at the heart of my practice — I provide Hawaiian to English translation for asylum hearings, bond hearings, removal proceedings, and attorney-client consultations. I am deeply familiar with immigration terminology and the emotional weight these cases carry.

I hold state and federal court certification as a Hawaiian translator and have been qualified as an expert in legal translation in numerous court proceedings.

Language has always been central to my identity — born in Honolulu, Hawaii, I spoke Hawaiian before I could write, and today I channel that foundation into my work as a translator.

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

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

Before becoming a professional translator, I spent years working in international trade between Hawaii and the United States, which honed my Hawaiian and English bilingual skills to a professional standard.

I deliver professional Hawaiian translation services for the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry, including clinical trial documentation, regulatory submissions, patient information leaflets, and informed consent forms. Every translation undergoes rigorous quality assurance for accuracy and compliance.

I hold a sworn translator designation recognized by consulates and embassies, enabling me to provide notarized Hawaiian translation accepted internationally.

Graduating from Hawaii Pacific University with honors, I launched my career in Hawaiian translation and have spent the last 17 years building a reputation for excellence and reliability.

Focused on legal translation, I offer professional Hawaiian translation 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.

Every document I produce as a certified Hawaiian translator includes a signed certification statement and is accepted by courts, USCIS, and academic institutions nationwide.

With 22 years of experience and a deep connection to Hawaiian language and culture from my upbringing in Hawaii, I offer translation services grounded in authenticity and accuracy.

Conference and event translation is my specialty — I provide simultaneous interpretation in Hawaiian for international summits, academic conferences, and large-scale corporate events. I am equally skilled in consecutive interpretation for smaller, high-stakes diplomatic and business settings.

I am a proud member of IMIA (International Medical Interpreters Association) and bring specialized expertise to every medical Hawaiian translation assignment I undertake.

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

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

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

Following a career in diplomacy in Hawaii, I brought my Hawaiian language expertise to the United States and began offering professional translation services.

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

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