At Corpshore, I transcribed native-speaker Swahili recordings into conventionally formatted transcripts, following detailed style guides and quality standards. I represented speakers, code-switching, dialects, and informal registers including Sheng.

I handled conversational audio with overlapping speech, disfluencies, fillers, and background noise. I reviewed each submission, flagged ambiguous segments rather than guessing, and worked with reviewers on edge cases and calibration.

Through Remotasks and independent projects, I annotated image and video data and evaluated AI-generated responses against structured criteria. I checked work for errors and inconsistencies and followed project-specific guidelines.

As a Teacher with the Teachers Service Commission, I deliver instruction and assess learner responses, with particular strength in Kiswahili. I hold a Bachelor of Education (Arts), majoring in Kiswahili and Geography, and am currently pursuing Applied AI Fundamentals at WorldQuant University.
