Native Swahili speaker with experience in interpretation and writing.
What I'm looking for
I am a native Swahili speaker with over one year of experience as a remote interpreter and more than two years as a freelance writer and virtual assistant. My strong skills in both Swahili and English have allowed me to work effectively in medical and legal settings, providing over-the-phone and video interpretation services. I pride myself on my ability to help clients understand each other clearly and accurately while respecting cultural differences.
In addition to my interpretation work, I have honed my writing and editing skills, producing high-quality content in both languages. I am detail-oriented and committed to meeting deadlines, ensuring that my work is not only accurate but also culturally relevant. With a full home office setup for remote work, I am well-equipped to manage various tasks, including research, data entry, and email management, all while maintaining a flexible schedule for freelance opportunities.
