Professional Statement

I am an adaptable and detail-oriented linguist who bridges the gap between different cultures through high-quality translation and localization. My background in journalism combined with my academic training in foreign languages and literature gives me a unique advantage: I don't just translate words; I capture context, voice, and intent.

I specialize in translation services from/to English, French, and Lingala languages. Whether handling business communication, life science, tech UI strings, fintech, legal, or any other type of content, my target remains identical: precise, natural, and punctual deliveries.
