Bio

My name is Margaret Gichuki, a Kenyan lady aged 35 years. I am a Masters graduate in anthropology studies, which gives me an added advantage as I translate texts with a background experience in people groups and why they do behave in the way they do. Ancient Hebrew and Greek have interested me as a theology student of three years in my undergraduate studies. I have a background on people skills and love exploring new ways of language morphing from one generation to another in its dynamics. 

I have studied Greek for three years, and Hebrew for two years. I have studied Swahili for over twelve years since lower primary school and have been using English and Swahili as my national languages since a toddler.

My translation skills have improved over the years as I have been working with various groups of people in East Africa both formally and informally for over 7 years since 2012.

I have room for improvement and of training people how to handle various literally texts, ancient Greek and Hebrew texts as I lectured for over an year on the two languages at a degree level in Kenya.

I trust that we shall work together,I pledge to attend to every detail of your preferred type of a job well done. Thank you.
