Bio
I’ve worked in the translation industry since I graduated from Nairobi university  in 2016– first as a multilingual translation checker, then as an in-house translator, and now as a freelance translator and editor. My commitment has never faltered, and I was lucky enough to develop my specialisms through in-house training, supervised by senior translators who gave their expert feedback and guidance until I was ready to go it alone.

I see translation as a craft in itself. I firmly believe we should continue to learn and hone our skills throughout our careers.

Though I’ll always remain true to my Nairobian  roots, my home is in old racecourse and I enjoy exploring the local area when not at my desk. Much of my free time is spent walking, swimming or watching football reading, and entertaining friends and family as often as possible!
