Description

I am a native Somali bilingual translator with more than 10 years of professional experience, dedicated to delivering eloquent, precise, and culturally accurate translations. With a Bachelor’s Degree from a recognized university, I combine academic knowledge with hands-on expertise to provide reliable freelance services. Over the years, I have successfully managed projects of every scale, always with the same goal—exceeding expectations through quality, consistency, and professionalism.

My areas of expertise span a wide range of fields, including medical, legal, academic, humanitarian, technical, business and financial, and family history translations. I have translated everything from clinical documentation and insurance claims to contracts, court records, transcripts, financial reports, and even handwritten letters and diaries. Beyond these, I also work in education, marketing, ecology, government, technical fields, and multimedia, ensuring that clients from diverse industries receive tailored, accurate, and dependable translations.

Alongside translation, I provide services in transcription, subtitling, proofreading, voiceover, interpretation, and web localization. I rely on advanced tools such as SDL Trados, Adobe Creative Cloud, MS Office, and other CAT technologies to preserve formatting while ensuring human-centered translation. Clients value my cost-efficiency, meticulous attention to detail, and ability to meet tight deadlines without compromising quality. Clear communication and cultural sensitivity remain at the heart of every project I undertake.

With hundreds of satisfied clients and a proven record of professionalism, I am passionate about bridging languages and cultures with accuracy and care. Whether your project is medical, legal, educational, or creative, I am committed to providing translations that go beyond words—delivering clarity, reliability, and true value.
