A full-time, self-employed transcriptionist.
I have worked in my role now for six years, offering general, 1-1, focus group transcription, as well as legal, medical, and media-related files. My transcription work also includes captioning, proofreading, editing, and administration typing duties such as PDF to Word projects.
99% of my work at present involves transcribing, editing, proofreading, Translating English-Swahili, and captioning.
I have a passion for the English language, a desire to succeed, and I am the first to admit that I am a total workaholic. I love the flexibility, authenticity, and the unknown that comes from earning a living at home, and I would not change what I do for anything.
I am always available to chat about any upcoming projects or live projects you may have, so feel free to get in touch.

—Transcriber & Captions/Subtitles Specialist
I've been transcribing/subtitling/captioning audio/video content for over 9 years now. My experience includes transcribing workshops, courtroom hearings, depositions, 1:1 interviews, focus group sessions, podcasts, earnings conference calls and more.
I also possess extensive experience when it comes to working with online AI-powered transcription tools like Otter, Descript, Sonix, Whisper, et cetera. If you're someone who's looking for help when it comes to polishing AI-generated transcripts, feel free to hit me up.
Furthermore, the experience I've gained transcribing/subtitling/captioning content all these years has trained my ears exceptionally well to understand different dialects and accents, and therefore, I'm also able to distinguish between different voices heard in content that's just audio.
Being a natural writer makes my work all the more precise as you won't find any errors in the work that I will turnaround.
And last but not the least, let's be honest: Does how fast one types matter while transcribing? Yes, to some extent it does. But what really matters is how well one is able to listen and understand and distinguish what's being spoken. Keying in words without understanding a word that's being dictated is one thing, but for a diligent worker, client satisfaction is paramount and I for one ensure that whatever I transcribe is of the highest quality and standards.
—Editor & Content QC Specialist
Prior to joining Upwork, I used to freelance as a writer/editor/proofreader for various local English dailies, gaining extensive experience in the realm of editing. I'm familiar with the ins and outs of this domain and specialize in it. People often tend to confuse "editing" with "proofreading" or vice versa, even though both are quite different and have their own challenges.
I'm also experienced at polishing and proofreading AI/machine-generated transcripts and any written text produced by AI such as ChatGPT, Claude, Jasper, etc. I can also refine human-produced content.
Furthermore, I have an eagle's eye when it comes to auditing content. For instance, I have helped some of my clients audit their content libraries by following guidelines and flagging any violations.
Using my craft, I would love to help YOU out with YOUR content!
—AI Solutions & Automations Specialist
My 9+ years in transcription, QC and content editing gave me an insider's view of broken workflows and inefficiencies across multiple industries. That experience is now the foundation of a new skill set: building AI powered automation tools that solve real problems.
Using vibe coding and AI assisted development tools, I build custom solutions including workflow automation systems, AI powered web applications, content optimization pipelines, voice AI agents and Progressive Web Apps. I'm transparent about my approach and focused on delivering things that actually work.
If you have a problem that needs an intelligent automated solution, let's talk.
