Bio

I speak 4 International and a dozen Bantu languages, and have traveled widely.


I am a talented interpreter who has served intimate High-Level Audiences between Presidents, Business Leaders, opinion-shapers, and Influencers. I have interpreted at several Global Conferences: in Nairobi, Kenya, Eden Island, Seychelles, and Speke Bay, Uganda.


I can match the speaker’s style, speed, emotion, and more nuanced cultural content.

Currently, on-call interpreter for several francophone missions in the East African Region, several UN bodies in Nairobi, and a freelance interpreter and translator for a couple of language service providers.

I do volunteer Interpretation for the African  Permanent Francophone Committee and translate for the United Nations Online Volunteers Program.
