What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can teach and translate Yoruba, advise on cultural accuracy, develop curriculum, and help AI systems capture Yoruba nuance.

I am a native Yoruba linguist, translator, and cultural educator with over seven years of experience teaching, interpreting, and refining Yoruba language use across diverse contexts.

I design interactive lessons and bilingual materials that develop fluency in speaking, reading, and translation, and I have helped diaspora children achieve conversational fluency within 6–12 months.

As a translator and cultural consultant I translate and evaluate Yoruba and English texts with attention to semantic accuracy, tone, and cultural nuance, and I advise writers and educators on appropriate phrasing for creative and educational materials.

I combine linguistic skill with storytelling and documentation to preserve endangered expressions and proverbs, and I work to advance AI-powered linguistic understanding so technology can better reflect Yoruba heritage.
