What I'm looking for

I seek roles using my Arabic–English translation and interpretation expertise, with opportunities to teach, edit, and contribute to cross-cultural communication in organized, collaborative environments.

I am a passionate multilingual translator with ten years of experience translating between Arabic and English across books, research, legal, economic, and strategic documents.

I have five years of hands-on experience teaching English at university level and in specialized institutes, designing lesson plans, delivering lectures, and assessing student progress.

At the International Center for Strategic Studies (ICSS) I performed translation, interpretation, localization, and transcription work, maintained confidentiality for sensitive materials, used translation memory tools, and provided cultural guidance to facilitate cross-language communication.

I co-founded ESP Moving Institute and participated in community teaching initiatives; I am organized, adaptable, and committed to high-quality translation, editing, and English instruction.
