What I'm looking for

I'm looking for translation work involving English, Swahili, and Dholuo content, especially media, academic, medical, and general documents where cultural relevance, accuracy, and clear communication matter.

I've translated TV program synopses, academic texts, and general documents for Fiverr clients since 2019, delivering culturally relevant English-to-Swahili and English-to-Dholuo translations.

I preserve the original tone and intent while adapting content for Swahili- and Dholuo-speaking audiences. My work has earned consistent 5-star reviews and repeat clients, supported by careful proofreading, editing, and adherence to client style guides.

My medical internship experience and MBChB background help me interpret complex technical and medical information clearly and accurately.
