Experience

A caring, multilingual, and highly organised individual with strong experience supporting families, managing household routines, and coordinating educational needs. Skilled in interpreting and translating between English and Somali since 2014, including helping community members with official documents, housing queries, and GP appointments. Previously managed and operated a successful Amazon business until 2022, demonstrating strong entrepreneurship, customer service, and administrative skills. After pausing the business to focus on family, including caring for a child with additional needs, I bring resilience, problem-solving ability, and a calm, supportive approach to all tasks.


 

I am committed, reliable, and quick to learn new systems. I thrive in roles that involve helping others, clear communication, and organisation. Currently seeking opportunities where my interpersonal skills, community interpreting experience, and strong work ethic can make a positive impact.
