Ms. Ama O.
Krio Interpreter · West Virginia
Consecutive and Simultaneous interpretation in English into Krio and Krio into English. Available On-site and Video Remote.
Studying at University of Sierra Leone gave me the formal training, but it was growing up bilingual in Kenema, Sierra Leone, that gave me the instinct and cultural fluency I rely on every day as a Krio interpreter.
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.
My commitment to the Krio-speaking community goes beyond professional interpretation — I volunteer with local organizations to expand language access for underserved populations.
