“I am a community interpreter for Dutch-Dari and vice versa, and hopefully soon for Farsi as well. I work with various Flemish interpreting services. As a community interpreter, you’re called upon for various settings, such as hospitals, psychologists’ offices, schools, public social welfare agencies (OCMWs), the Center for Student Guidance (CLB), the Center for Family and Youth Affairs (CAW), and many other services that come into contact with migrants to varying degrees.
I’m trained to handle all kinds of conversations: emotional conversations, conversations involving complex terminology, conversations that are ethically challenging, and so on. As a community interpreter, I also ensure that everything remains confidential and discreet.
Because I had to learn Dutch at a later age myself, I know this isn’t an easy language. That’s why I decided to become an interpreter—to help people who don’t speak Dutch (when they’re in need). I enjoy this role more and more every day!”
Community interpreter and accountant
“Fortunately, my journey as an entrepreneur is going well. I’m a self-employed student; in addition to being a community interpreter, I’m also studying Accountancy and Taxation. It’s not always easy trying to run a business while studying, but I’ll keep doing my best.
Thanks to Dexxter, which has made accounting easier and more efficient for me, I’m able to free up some time to relax. Everything in Dexxter is extremely well-organized, clear, and explained simply. But I’m especially happy with their customer service. When I have a question, I receive a complete, clear, and helpful answer within 24 hours—and very often even faster.
Helping people remains a priority. I plan to continue working as a community interpreter forever, but I also want to become an accountant. That way, I can help people in another way too!”
Entrepreneurship is a journey
“My advice for other starters? Remember that entrepreneurship is a journey; stay driven, passionate about your vision, and don’t give up!”
