What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, learning, and advancement in language services.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong foundation in language translation and transcription, holding a BA in English Language and Literature/Igbo from Nnamdi Azikiwe University. My journey in the language industry has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a passion for bridging communication gaps. With over five years of experience as a translator and transcriber, I have honed my skills in various languages, including Igbo, Yoruba, and English, delivering high-quality work that meets the needs of diverse clients.

Throughout my career, I have successfully contributed to numerous projects, including translating children's books, medical documents, and audio files for various organizations across the globe. My role as an Igbo translator for Sharp Entertainment allowed me to transcribe and translate significant video content for popular television shows, while my work with Cognegica Networks involved using advanced platforms for transcription and annotation. I pride myself on my ability to meet tight deadlines and produce work that exceeds client expectations, as evidenced by my rapid turnaround times and positive feedback from clients.

As I continue to seek new professional opportunities, I am eager to further develop my skills and contribute to projects that allow for personal and professional growth. I am particularly interested in roles that challenge me and provide opportunities for advancement in the language services industry.
