What I'm looking for
I’m a multilingual translator and language support professional with 6+ years of experience translating, interpreting, and localizing between English, Turkish, and Swahili. I specialize in complex technical, legal, and creative content, with a strong focus on cultural nuance and corporate consistency.
I manage end-to-end linguistic localization workflows and support multilingual project coordination across diverse stakeholder teams, including private organizations and international projects. I’ve translated engineering metrics, technical specifications, legal contracts, and corporate documents, and I’ve delivered multilingual technical documentation for large-scale environmental sustainability initiatives.
I also bring leadership and humanitarian field experience, including drafting and translating official diplomatic correspondence, international grant proposals, and community development frameworks. As a humanitarian aid volunteer, I serve as a key primary interpreter between international medical/aid personnel and Swahili-speaking communities, helping enable clear cross-lingual communication on the ground.
