At Environmental Life Conserve (ELC), I translated a grant funding proposal from English to Kiswahili for a Tanzanian NGO.

I also translated seven climate-change training modules for a PSSSF-funded project, adapting the content for pre-primary students, youth, and women in Ubungo and Kinondoni Municipalities. I translated the project implementation report from Kiswahili to English.

For a municipal solid waste management study in Mburahati Ward, I wrote interview guides and questionnaires in English and translated them into Kiswahili for field research.

With a BSc in Environmental Science and Management, I work on environmental and development content in English and Kiswahili. I use Phrase and AI writing and translation tools to speed up drafts, then check every final text myself.
