Hello! Here’s an important fact about my services: I have a perfect
track record of meeting deadlines—I've never missed one! I always
establish timelines in advance to ensure timely delivery. Choose me for
reliable service you can count on!

Introducing My Professional Language Services

Hello! I’m excited to introduce myself to you.

As a native Somali speaker, I was born and raised in Somalia, and I
have cultivated a deep understanding of both Somali and English language
nuances throughout my life. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
from the Somali National University [Jaamacadda Ummadda Soomaaliyeed]
and a Bachelor of Science degree from DeVry University in Decatur,
Georgia, USA, where I now reside.

In addition to my educational background, I bring valuable experience
as a retired public school educator from the DeKalb County School
System in Georgia. I taught English to Speakers of Other Languages
(ESOL) for 15 years and hold a secondary education teaching certificate
in Business Education (grades K-12) in the State of Georgia.

With over nineteen years of experience in translation, proofreading,
and editing, I specialize in providing professional translation services
between English and Somali. Additionally, I offer voice-over services
to meet a variety of communication needs.

Whether you require accurate translations, meticulous proofreading,
or engaging voice-over work, I am dedicated to delivering high-quality
services tailored to your specific needs.

Thank you for considering my services. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!


At the heart of my work lies a commitment to excellence. With every
project I undertake, I strive to deliver outstanding quality—always on
or ahead of schedule. Additionally, I prioritize clear communication and
ensure prompt responses to all phone calls and emails, making
collaboration seamless and efficient.

(ACTFL) and Languages Testing International since 2009. With years of

United States.


As part of a national organization committed to fostering language
acquisition, I strive to provide in-depth assessments that empower
learners and educators alike. My goal is to support your journey in
mastering the Somali language and achieving your academic and
professional objectives.


Let’s work together to elevate your language skills!
