What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented and reliable translator with over 3 years of experience in translating and transcribing English to Swahili content. My work spans various sectors, including media, education, NGOs, and business, where I have consistently delivered accurate and culturally appropriate translations. I am committed to quality, confidentiality, and meeting deadlines, ensuring that my clients receive the best service possible.
In my role as a Freelance Translator and Transcriptionist, I have worked with international clients through platforms like Upwork, translating documents, subtitles, and reports. I also provide transcription services for interviews and meetings, and I create synchronized closed captions for video content, enhancing accessibility and accuracy. My previous experience with the Tanzania Education Authority involved translating policy documents and educational materials, where I collaborated closely with editorial teams to ensure cultural relevance and accuracy.
