Bio
I am a professional English–Somali Linguist specializing in translation, interpreting, proofreading, editing, and linguistic quality assurance (LQA). I am committed to delivering accurate, natural, culturally appropriate, and high-quality language solutions that help clients communicate effectively with Somali-speaking audiences.

My services include English–Somali Translation, Interpreting, Proofreading, Editing, Transcription, Subtitling, Captioning, Voice-over, Audio Recording, Localization, Linguistic Quality Assurance (LQA), Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE), AI-generated content review, Linguistic Validation, and AI Training.

I support a wide range of content, including general, educational, business, community, legal, healthcare, human rights, government, and other specialized materials, while paying close attention to context, terminology, consistency, grammar, and cultural nuances.

I understand the importance of confidentiality, clear communication, reliability, and meeting deadlines. I approach every project with professionalism, attention to detail, and a strong commitment to following client instructions and quality requirements.

My goal is to bridge the communication gap between English and Somali by providing language services that preserve the original meaning, intent, tone, and cultural context of every message.

I welcome opportunities to collaborate with translation agencies, language service providers, businesses, NGOs, and individual clients seeking dependable English–Somali language support. I am responsive, organized, and committed to delivering work that meets project specifications and client expectations.
