What I'm looking for
I’m a highly accomplished Senior Translator with over 32 years of professional experience at the Embassy of the Royal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the Philippines. I deliver Arabic–English translation and interpretation with strong attention to linguistic accuracy, cultural appropriateness, and strict confidentiality—especially for legal, governmental, political, academic, and media contexts.
Since 1994, I’ve translated official diplomatic correspondence, government communications, press releases, and embassy documents, and I’ve provided interpretation during diplomatic meetings, conferences, official visits, and government engagements. I also review and proofread work for accuracy and consistency, monitor and translate Philippine media for embassy reference and analysis, and mentor junior translators and language personnel—supporting high-level bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of the Philippines.
