What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values cultural sensitivity and offers opportunities for professional growth in translation and localization.

Hello! I’m a professional Swahili translator with 3 years of experience in translating English to Swahili and vice versa. I specialize in accurate, culturally appropriate translations for a wide range of content — from documents, websites, and subtitles to apps and marketing materials. My commitment to delivering high-quality work ensures that I connect effectively with native Swahili speakers.

Throughout my career, I have translated significant works, including a full book titled 'Trauma Healing' and the 'Good Samaritan' book, ensuring clarity and cultural relevance. I have also contributed to over 10,000 podcasts, adapting spoken content for Swahili-speaking audiences while preserving tone and meaning. My collaborative work with editorial and publishing teams has maintained high-quality language standards across various projects.
