I am an Upwork Top-Rated and verified professional translator with over 15 years of extensive experience delivering high-quality translation, transcription, interpretation, proofreading, and content writing services. I specialize in English ↔ Somali, Maay Maay, and Swahili language pairs, helping individuals, organizations, international NGOs, and businesses communicate effectively across linguistic and cultural boundaries.
Throughout my career, I have worked with leading humanitarian organizations and international agencies serving diverse communities, particularly refugees and vulnerable populations. This experience has enabled me to develop exceptional expertise in translating sensitive and specialized content while maintaining accuracy, cultural relevance, and linguistic integrity. My portfolio includes the translation and review of medical documents, legal contracts, technical manuals, consent forms, research questionnaires, children's books, user guides, training materials, business documents, and humanitarian communications.
My core areas of expertise include medical, legal, technical, business, and general translation, supported by a strong understanding of industry-specific terminology and international quality standards. In addition to translation, I provide professional transcription, interpretation, localization, proofreading, editing, and linguistic quality assurance services to ensure every project meets the highest standards of excellence.
I hold academic qualifications in Social Sciences, Counseling Psychology, and Education, which strengthen my ability to understand complex subject matter and communicate it clearly and accurately across different audiences. My educational background, combined with years of practical experience, enables me to handle projects requiring precision, confidentiality, and cultural sensitivity.
I am highly proficient in industry-leading CAT tools and productivity platforms, including SDL Trados Studio 2022, MemoQ, Smartcat, XTM, Phrase, Lokalise, Bench, Microsoft Office Suite, Google Workspace, Dropbox, Salesforce, and other collaborative translation platforms. These tools allow me to maintain consistency, terminology management, and efficient project delivery, even for large-scale multilingual assignments.
Professionalism, integrity, and client satisfaction are at the heart of my work. I strictly adhere to Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and am fully trained in HIPAA and PHI compliance, ensuring that all confidential and sensitive information is handled with the highest level of security and professionalism.
Clients consistently value my accuracy, fast turnaround times, attention to detail, responsiveness, and commitment to exceeding expectations. I believe in building long-term professional relationships by providing reliable communication, pre-project consultation, post-project support, and language solutions tailored to each client's specific goals.
Whether your project requires translation, localisation, transcription, interpretation, or linguistic review, I am committed to delivering culturally appropriate, accurate, and high-quality results that help you communicate effectively with your target audience. My goal is not only to translate words but also to preserve meaning, context, and cultural nuance, ensuring every project contributes to your success.
