What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in cultural journalism that fosters growth.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in translation, editing, and journalism. Over the past several years, I have honed my skills in various roles, including as a journalist and translator at alkahera weekly newspaper, where I contributed significantly to the publication's content and outreach. My work has allowed me to translate over 30 books across diverse fields, including literature, philosophy, and science, showcasing my versatility and commitment to quality.

Currently, I serve as a Reviewer, Senior Editor, and Proofreader at twofour54, where I oversee the translation process, ensuring that each project meets the highest standards. My strong relationships within the cultural sector in Egypt have enabled me to collaborate effectively with publishers and cultural leaders. I am passionate about cultural journalism and continuously seek opportunities to enhance my skills and contribute to meaningful projects.
