Bio

I am a native speaker of Shona, Ndebele-North and Chichewa. I am a highly experienced, motivated and enthusiastic translator who is organised and proactive when it comes to time management. As a proven reliable and professional translator, l have managed to mantain long lasting working relationships with my clients. My language diversification skill has also provided convenience to my valued clients as l can fluently speak and work in Shona, Ndebele North and Chichewa. I am privileged to live in a society where all my three working languages are spoken and used on day to day communications and this keeps me afloat and rich in both grammar and understanding of the language dynamics in as far as localization is concerned.  

I also run Nenyasha` Language Services - which is a network of professional language service providers who constantly share translation skills and knowledge through seminars, work quality evaluation processes and use of CAT Tools. As iron sharpens another iron, so does language professionals. (It's Beyond Languages!)

Whether you are a scientist, a writer, a lawyer, a film maker or someone who wants his or her most precious documents or works to be professionally translated, l am at your side for assistance 😊. Other than translation, l also provide proof-reading, video subtitling and transcription services. Quality is guaranteed!
