What I'm looking for

I'm looking to translate, localize, quality-check, or train AI on English, French, and Kinyarwanda content, particularly legal, medical, government, humanitarian, and culturally sensitive work.

I've delivered English, French, and Kinyarwanda translation, localization, and linguistic QA for government bodies, NGOs, and international clients as a certified freelance translator.

I specialize in legal and medical content, managing terminology, translation memories, and sensitive multilingual materials with cultural accuracy.

At USC Shoah Foundation, I managed end-to-end multilingual storytelling and archival translation projects, coordinating translators, editors, and proofreaders while maintaining quality and consistency.

I also train and evaluate Kinyarwanda AI data for Micro1 and LILT Technologies, helping improve LLM outputs for an AI-underrepresented African language.
