Goal oriented multilingual professional, working to a high standard of delivery and ethics. Experience working with NGOs, humanitarian organisations, diplomatic missions, courtroom settings and with the private sector.

I am a Swahili/English mother tongue linguist with over 15 years of experience as a freelance translator and consecutive interpreter in Swahili/English/French. I have varied professional history from working in a courtroom setting to working with NGOs and other humanitarian organisations like Medecin du Monde, and also in a multilateral and diplomatic environment of UNESCO as a staff member of the Permanent Delegation of the United Republic of Tanzania. Through this rich and diverse history, I have gained extensive hands-on experience in being able to cope with unexpected situations, have a sense of customer service, and the valuable ability to think and react "on the go". I can easily navigate in multicultural environments and am able to work efficiently with divers personalities. I can affirm that I am a professional who is disciplined, a good communicator and listener. I am confident that with this wide-ranging accumulated professional experience, you will find me a good match for your linguist requirements.
