My name is Abiy Hailu. I hold an MA in Development Studies, a BA in Social Anthropology and Economics, a Diploma in Journalism, and a Specialization Certificate in Public Relations and Media, as well as Content Marketing. Over the span of eight years, I worked at The Ethiopian Herald newspaper, progressing through roles from Junior Reporter to Reporter, Senior Reporter, Assistant Editor, and ultimately Deputy Editor-in-Chief.
Following my tenure at The Herald, I served for three years as a Media and Communications Specialist at the European Center for Electoral Support. Currently, I am a Senior Public Relations and Communications Specialist with the e-Learning for Strengthening Higher Education program, a collaborative initiative between the Mastercard Foundation, the Ministry of Education, and other partners.
My time at The Herald significantly gave me an excellent opportunity to develop my translation skills between Amharic and English. For three years, I was responsible for translating entire parliamentary sessions, debates, and discussions, including speeches and reports from Presidents, Prime Ministers, and government officials. This extensive experience has continued in my current role and as a freelancer, where I have undertaken numerous translation projects for individuals, as well as local and international institutions. As a media and communications professional, I have also engaged in various translation projects, including booklets and several other documents.
This diverse experience has equipped me to deliver high-quality and standardized translation services. For a detailed overview of my qualifications and experience, please refer to my attached CV.
