Bio

I am an English-Swahili award winning translator. I was awarded the Marion Boers Translation Award by the International Federation of Translators (FIT) in Varadero, Cuba in June 2022. I have over 30 years of translation experience and also a mentor to other translators in the African region. I also translated the Bible in my language and therefore I have a wealth of experience in Christian translation tasks. 

I have attended the following translation conferences.:

ATA translation conference in the USA

BP Conferences in Vienna and Prague

IAPTI conferences in Greece, France and Spain

EAITA conferences in Kenya and Tanzania.
