Bio
I specialize in English-Swahili (and vice-versa) translation and localization and can also handle transcription
and data entry projects. I am also fluent in Luo/Dholuo and Kikuyu/Gikuyu local native languages. I am a
reliable translator who can translate written documents, audio, and video files from a source language to a
target language within the language sets mentioned above.


I am a quick learner who can absorb new ideas, communicate clearly and effectively while working with
people from different social and professional backgrounds. I am a flexible freelancer who can adapt to any
challenging situation that may arise in my course of professional work. I respect my client's privacy. As
such, I never disclose project information without consent.


Prior work includes translating marketing and promotional materials, legal, medical, and technical
documents, educational materials, employee handbooks, vital records, subtitles, interviews, blog posts, press
releases, newspaper articles, apps, documentaries, self-help books, business plans, market studies, financial
statements, pitch decks, a workbook, website translation, product instructions, investment and health-related
blog articles.


I have over three years of experience in transcription during which time I have worked for companies like
Go Transcript, Verbit, and Transcribe Me, etc. I can transcribe and translate audio files from one language
to the other. I am also a fast and accurate typist who offers data entry services. Additionally, I can do
content and copywriting and digital marketing in English and/or Swahili.
