What I'm looking for

I seek remote or agency roles offering steady translation, content creation, and localization work with clear deadlines, professional collaboration, and opportunities to apply CAT tools and domain expertise in finance, medical, education, and marketing.

I am a native Somali translator, content creator and blogger with over five years delivering translation, proofreading, transcription and voice-over services for clients worldwide.

I have worked with agencies and platforms including Forcier Consulting, Travod, Clear Source Translations and others, completing translation and transcription projects across finance, medical, education, business and cultural domains.

I produce SEO content, blog posts, press releases, eBooks and YouTube/TV scripts, and I use CAT tools such as Trados, Memsource, memoQ and Translation Workspace to ensure accuracy and consistency.

I am detail-oriented, meet tight deadlines, and support clients with virtual assisting, data entry and social media/marketing tasks while maintaining high-quality, culturally accurate translations.
