What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to utilize my linguistic skills while fostering student engagement and learning.

I am a multilingual linguist and language expert fluent in English, Kiswahili, Kamba, and Giriama. With a Bachelor’s degree in Education (English and Literature) and a specialization in Linguistics, I possess a strong foundation in Syntax, Semantics, and Morphology. My expertise ensures that sentence structures are grammatically accurate and align with linguistic best practices.

Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Linguistics at Pwani University, I have demonstrated experience in crafting creative and natural-sounding sentences for machine learning and AI language training datasets. My role at the Kwale County Administration Office involves mentoring students in academic writing and teaching English Language and Literature, where I integrate linguistic principles to enhance student learning.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have worked in various roles that have honed my skills in language accuracy and customer engagement. I am fully equipped to work remotely with minimal supervision while delivering consistent linguistic output in all assigned languages.
