English-Kiswahili translator
Christina Lauren Quigley is postgraduate student at the University of Dar es Salaam. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from California State University, Chico followed by a 2019-2020 fellowship as a Fulbright scholar for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program. Christina is a Kiswahili speaker and scholar of the Kiswahili language. Christina lived in the port city of Kigoma, Tanzania at Lake Tanganyika’s DR Congo and Burundi borders for several years. There, she researched how popular Congolese rumba music crosses secular–religious boundaries and international borders. Working with Congolese and Tanzanian gospel singers, teachers and musicians, they held weekly community Muziki Darasa music class debates in downtown Kigoma. As Christina completes her postgraduate thesis, volunteering for the Nyamboyo Technical School in southwest Kenya is her first experience as a Kiswahili-English translator.
Currently, Christina is translating NTS’ Anti-Corruption Policy as well as the Safeguarding Policy, so these critical documents, and the rules and behavior they represent, are understood and followed by all staff and students.
