I am a Certified PRO English-to-Somali translator and interpreter, and a member of the East African Interpreters and Translators Association (EAITA).

Clients work with me when they need Somali communication that is not just translated, but ready to use — accurate, natural, consistent, and appropriate for the audience.

Core services:
✅ English-Somali Translation
✅ Somali Interpretation (Simultaneous & Consecutive)
✅ Editing, Proofreading, MTPE & Linguistic QA

My approach is practical and audience-focused: I clarify meaning where needed, protect terminology consistency, flag issues early, and deliver Somali content that reads naturally while staying faithful to the source.

I've supported institutional clients including IDLO, Terra, LionBridge, ByLanguages, 7C Lingo, Smartling, and ZenoMedia across humanitarian, legal, financial, and media content. I deliver up to 3,500 words/day without sacrificing quality.
