At REPOA, I transcribed English and Swahili recordings and translated selected Swahili interviews into English for research and reporting. I reviewed the work for accuracy, completeness, grammar, and contextual meaning.

In freelance media assignments, I transcribed recordings and translated selected Swahili content into English, preserving meaning and context while preparing client-ready material.

At Learning Hub, I translated e-learning scripts, training materials, and learner instructions. I also provided Swahili voice-over narration for selected training modules and adapted terminology for Tanzanian learners.

I work across translation, transcription, subtitling, proofreading, and language quality assurance. I use tools including Smartcat, memoQ, and ChatGPT.
