Agnes Gilson

Description

I am a trained and experienced interpreter and translator specializing in Haitian Creole, French, and English. With a strong background in immigration, legal, educational, and community settings, I provide accurate, culturally competent, and confidential language support for diverse populations.

I am a certified provider for the Maryland MVA, a court interpreter for the state of Maryland, and currently completing the VIISTA program to become a DOJ-accredited representative. My work spans across USCIS interviews, asylum cases, court proceedings, school meetings, and document translation—including birth certificates, affidavits, legal forms, and contracts.

With over a decade of multilingual experience and a background in psychology and community service, I bring professionalism, empathy, and precision to every interaction. I am passionate about bridging communication gaps and empowering immigrant communities through language access.
