Bio

I am a well-experienced and a proven Translator and Interpreter. My qualifications and personal strengths and skills as a top-grade
translator/interpreter clearly align with the needs and mission of top-grade
translation/interpretation agencies. I have a brilliant second class upper
(combined) honours university degree in English and Yoruba languages. My
communication skills are people-centric and have afforded me excellent
interpersonal skills. 

 

I have amazing comprehensive set of skills that I believe will
be valuable and beneficial to leading agencies. In my role as a Linguist, Translator
and Interpreter, I have the requisite skills to translate/interpret from
English language to Yoruba language, and vice versa. In doing this, I clearly
convey
the style, tone, and intent of the text, while taking into account differences
of culture and dialect.
My finished (translated) documents read as if they had originally
been written in the target language for the target audience
.

 

I am excited to contribute my talents and skills to
compliment the efforts of leading agencies. As an engaging linguist/communicator
with a proven track record in top-grade, well-executed English-Yoruba and Yoruba-English translations/interpretations,
my focus on building strong professional relationships has been a beneficial
and useful asset throughout my career.
