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

Having been raised in a bilingual household — Tigrinya at home and English at school — I developed an intuitive understanding of both languages that has shaped my 6-year career as a interpreter.

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

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

Trained in trauma-informed interpretation, I bring sensitivity and composure to asylum interviews, domestic violence cases, and other high-emotion Tigrinya interpretation assignments.

I was born in Mekelle, Eritrea, and moved to the U.S. as a teenager — an experience that taught me the critical role a skilled Tigrinya interpreter plays in people's lives.

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