Research-driven Translation & Localization Specialist specializing in medical, legal, and technical content for Ojibwe localization.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated, detail-oriented Translation and Localization Specialist with 4 years of professional experience in the translation industry. I deliver accurate, culturally appropriate, and linguistically precise translations, with a research-driven and quality-focused approach—especially for medical, legal, and technical documentation.
I have maintained accuracy and consistency in specialized terminology under strict deadlines, while ensuring culturally appropriate localization tailored to target audiences and contexts. Alongside delivery work, I conduct low-resource language research using dictionaries, corpora, and archival materials, with a focused interest in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe), including its complex polysynthetic structure, dialectal variation, and cultural context.
I bring advanced academic training through a Master’s degree in Linguistics / Translation Studies and a Bachelor’s degree in the same field, including terminology management, syntax analysis, and discourse interpretation. I’m committed to language preservation and accessibility, contributing my expertise to Ojibwe localization projects that respect both linguistic and cultural nuance.
