Research assistant and translator bridging English–Hausa for academic projects.
What I'm looking for
I am a proactive research assistant and translator with over five years supporting academic research projects, both remotely and on-site. I hold a B.Sc. in Biology and pursued an M.Sc. in Biotechnology, bringing subject-matter knowledge to research and translation tasks.
I conduct literature reviews, analyze qualitative and quantitative data, and maintain high standards of accuracy and confidentiality. I translate academic materials between English and Hausa, ensure terminological consistency, and proofread for clarity and fluency.
In prior roles I managed data entry, uploaded and organized research databases, communicated with respondents, and taught secondary school biology using technology-enhanced lessons. I prioritize meeting deadlines, client satisfaction, and bridging linguistic and cultural gaps in professional communication.
