What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I provide high-quality Yoruba<>English translation and interpretation, contribute to localization, and work with culturally respectful teams that value accuracy and timely delivery.

I am a bilingual Yoruba and English translator and interpreter with over four years of professional experience delivering written translations, simultaneous and consecutive interpretation, and localization for legal, medical, academic, and commercial clients. I have translated 500+ documents, provided live interpretation for conferences and court hearings, and collaborated with clients to ensure cultural relevance and linguistic precision.

I hold a BA in Yoruba Language and Linguistics and a Certificate in Professional Translation and Interpretation, and I am proficient with CAT tools (SDL Trados, MemoQ). I bring strong proofreading, project management, and training experience, and I consistently meet tight deadlines while maintaining high quality and cultural sensitivity.
