I am a native Southern Sotho translator from Lesotho with experience in media text adaptation, document translation, audio transcription, proofreading, and language instruction. I bring cultural fluency, creative linguistic skill, and analytical precision to every project, ensuring translations are natural, accurate, and contextually appropriate. I have created engaging TV synopses and audience-facing media content while maintaining strict character limits, required formats, and tight broadcast deadlines. My experience in transcription and localized voice collection has strengthened my understanding of contemporary spoken idioms, regional dialects, and natural phrasing rhythms. I also draw on my ACCA studies and financial credentials when working with technical and financial content.
