About

I'm a budding scholar with a PhD and MA in Kiswahili, bringing a wealth of experience from teaching Kiswahili at both high school and university levels. I have a research interest in Swahili oral literature and culture that has seen me conduct research amongst the community and published papers out of it. Moreover I have over a decade of experience in translating English to Kiswahili and teaching Kiswahili to foreign learners. In addition to these, I Have supervised to completion MA Kiswahili and MA Literature students' theses with some still under supervision including those of MA Applied linguistics.
