What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to utilize my language skills and analytical abilities in a collaborative environment.

With years of experience in transcription, translation, and voice-over work, I have honed my skills in delivering high-quality results across various projects. My journey began with a passion for language and communication, which has led me to work with reputable companies such as Telus International and Transperfect. I pride myself on my ability to listen attentively and transcribe audio accurately, ensuring that every detail is captured.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in web evaluation and search engine assessment. My role at Appen Connect has allowed me to engage in projects that require meticulous research and analysis, further enhancing my problem-solving abilities. I am fluent in Kikuyu, Swahili, and English, which enables me to navigate complex language tasks with ease. My commitment to continuous learning and improvement drives me to stay updated with industry trends and best practices.
