Ordre de Malte FranceVolunteer translator
Sep. 2015 - Aug. 2019FranceProvided volunteer interpretation services (Lingala/French) in sensitive legal and administrative contexts, including court hearings, police interviews, and interactions with individuals in administrative detention. Ensured accurate, neutral and culturally informed translation of legal concepts, facilitating clear communication between authorities, legal professionals and vulnerable individuals. Demonstrated a high level of confidentiality, ethical judgment and emotional intelligence, while supporting legal teams through precise oral interpretation and contextual clarification. This experience strengthened my legal language mastery, intercultural communication skills, and ability to convey complex legal information clearly and responsibly — competencies directly transferable to legal drafting, copywriting and translation work
