What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values impactful communication and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Jordanian professional with over 18 years of extensive experience in translation, copywriting, and editing. My expertise lies in delivering high-quality translations between Arabic and English across various fields, including marketing, healthcare, and humanitarian efforts. I have a proven track record of working with international organizations and have contributed to significant projects that enhance communication and understanding in diverse contexts.

One of my notable achievements includes authoring the book “Qatari Women Past and Present,” published by Longman, U.K. in 1984. This pioneering work was the first of its kind to explore the role of Qatari women and was well-received by the Qatari Ministry of Information. My commitment to impactful communication is further demonstrated through my freelance work with esteemed organizations such as UNICEF and USAID, where I have played a crucial role in various projects aimed at community development and education.
