I am a professional medical interpreter with over two years of hands-on experience. Currently serve as a medical interpreter with TransPerfect, one of the world’s leading language service providers, where I specialize in facilitating accurate, compassionate, and confidential communication between healthcare providers and patients.
My language proficiency includes Haitian Creole (my native language), French, and English, allowing me to support a wide range of patients from diverse backgrounds. I understand that language barriers in medical settings can create fear, confusion, and miscommunication, which is why I approach every interaction with professionalism, empathy, and cultural sensitivity. My goal is always to ensure that every patient feels heard, understood, and respected, regardless of their language or cultural background.
Working in the medical field has given me the opportunity to interpret in a variety of clinical settings, including general medicine, pediatrics, OB-GYN, mental health, emergency care, and more. I’m familiar with the strict confidentiality and ethical standards required in healthcare, and I consistently adhere to the National Code of Ethics for Interpreters in Health Care. I’m trained in medical terminology and protocols, and I take pride in remaining calm and focused even in emotionally intense or time-sensitive situations.
My upbringing in a trilingual environment has been a strong foundation for my interpreting career. Growing up speaking Haitian Creole and French, then mastering English, has made me not only fluent but also deeply aware of the cultural nuances and emotional undercurrents that often come with language. I use this awareness to ensure that my interpretations are not just linguistically accurate, but also culturally appropriate and emotionally attuned.
Beyond the technical side of interpreting, I view my role as one that directly impacts people’s lives. Every day, I have the chance to help someone better understand their diagnosis, feel confident in their treatment plan, or simply find comfort in knowing someone is there to help them communicate. It’s a responsibility I carry with great care and pride.
As I continue to grow in this field, I remain committed to lifelong learning and professional development, with the aim of continually improving the quality of service I provide to both patients and healthcare providers.
