Bio

I am a professional English–Somali translator and editor with a strong commitment to linguistic accuracy, cultural sensitivity, and high-quality communication. With extensive experience translating and editing a wide range of materials—including legal, medical, educational, humanitarian, business, and community content—I help individuals and organizations communicate clearly and effectively across languages.

As a native Somali speaker with advanced proficiency in English, I bring a deep understanding of both linguistic nuance and cultural context. My work goes beyond direct translation; I ensure that every text is accurate, natural-sounding, and tailored to the target audience. Whether translating complex documents or refining content through careful editing and proofreading, I maintain strict attention to detail, consistency, and terminology.

I am experienced in working with NGOs, government agencies, private clients, and international organizations, delivering projects on time while maintaining confidentiality and professionalism. My goal is to bridge communication gaps and support meaningful cross-cultural engagement through precise and reliable language services.

Core services:

• English–Somali translation

• Somali–English translation

• Editing and proofreading

• Terminology management

• Localization and cultural adaptation

I am dedicated to providing dependable, high-quality language services and building long-term professional relationships with my clients.
