I am a person of high integrity and honesty.   Highly motivated and hardworking person capable of undertaken challenging jobs, a team player with good organizational, leadership and inter – personal skills, able to meet set targets with minimum supervision possible. I am a person of high integrity and honesty.  My professional background is in anthropology and social work and enjoy in reading variety of other subjects including sciences, history, law, International Relations, Politics, Computer sciences, data management, I have professional translation experience, in the legal and business fields and previously served as the editor of internationally published Somali to English translation by an international organisation known as Minority Rights Group International, in that work, I use to translate recorded Somali voices into English transcript. Born in Nairobi City, I grew up speaking 3 languages, Somali from my own mother, Swahili the national language of Kenya and English the Official Language of Kenya. I spent most of my childhood in Nairobi where I became language interpreter in one of the international Non-Governmental organisations operating in Somalia as I am a multilingual person. I use to follow my British employee to the markets whenever she feels and interpret between her and her clients whenever buying goods from the market, thereby I am well familiar with market related interpretations.  I am a political analysist, feel free to visit my Facebook profile Kullow Yussuf (Roble). Hence I enjoy artistic and creative translations most of the times. In additional to market/business or political issues I also provide exceptional translations in the medical, marketing, advertising and business fields.
