I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Abdirahman at the County serving immigrant and refugee communities and have also had the opportunity to partner with Abdirahman in his role at Partners in Employment, where he serves as a leader to address long-term economic stability of newly arrived refugees and immigrants in King County.

“Abdirahman and Global Reach Consulting LLC has been an excellent partner in developing Somali research materials with great accuracy, reliability and the necessary cultural nuance that allows us to communicate effectively with research participants. Translations impressively communicated with accuracy and understandability complex clinical research terminology while maintaining the integrity of regulatory requirements. Utilizing these services has allowed us to more effectively communicate to our Somali speaking community and expand the opportunity of research participation. Abdirahman consistently goes above and beyond to deliver high quality translations with the efficiency we need to do our work well and on time. We have had the pleasure of working together on multiple projects and intend to continue utilizing these services for future projects throughout the organization.”

“Abdirahman has supported numerous Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) projects over the years, including the Recovery Card Program and SHA Transit Pass Program. Working with him is truly a joy every time and it is thanks to him that we are able to connect with so many community members without a hitch. Abdirahman goes above and beyond providing his language and outreach expertise; he possesses an ineffable, unteachable ability to connect with people, no matter the circumstances, and always with a smile. I eagerly look forward to the next time I work with him.”

"It was terrific to join together with over 4,000 other Seattleites in the first ever One Seattle Day of Service. Thanks to Mayor Bruce Harrell for providing leadership in improving our communities and special thanks to Abdirahman Omar for organizing our cleanup in South Seattle. Pretty great day to volunteer with neighbors and enjoy Somali tea, samosas, and pizza together!"

"Thank you Abdirahman for making our first One Seattle Day of Service a huge success! We could not have done this without your support and commitment to our community."
