Ms. Leilani M.
Hawaiian Translator · West Virginia
Translation in English into Hawaiian and Hawaiian into English.
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 focus is medical translation — I work as a certified Hawaiian translator in hospitals, clinics, and telehealth settings, ensuring HIPAA-compliant communication between healthcare providers and Hawaiian-speaking patients. From informed consent to discharge instructions, accuracy saves lives.
Trained in trauma-informed translation, I bring sensitivity and composure to asylum interviews, domestic violence cases, and other high-emotion Hawaiian translation assignments.
