What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to utilize my language skills and analytical abilities in a dynamic environment, fostering growth and collaboration.

I am a highly skilled and experienced translator with a strong background in translating general documents in Luo, English, and Kiswahili. I bring forth an excellent command of these languages, along with a track record of impeccable proofreading, editing, and translating. My ability to accurately assess the context of material allows me to translate it in an understandable and appropriate way, ensuring clarity and precision in communication.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various organizations, providing marketing intelligence support and data analysis. My experience includes translating press releases, official documents, reports, and presentations, as well as supervising content translation to ensure accuracy and quality. I am adept at using translation tools such as Trados and Wordfast, and I possess a solid understanding of terminology and processes that help clients better understand their positions.
