What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to utilize my interpretation skills in a supportive environment, fostering growth and collaboration.

I am a dedicated Arabic-English interpreter with extensive experience in OPI and VRI services, specializing in medical, legal, business, educational, and social services. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree from South Valley University, followed by a Teaching Diploma and a Translation Diploma, which laid the foundation for my career in interpretation.

Throughout my professional journey, I have had the privilege of working with various organizations, including Operation Smile and United Lawyers Company, where I honed my skills in consecutive interpretation. My commitment to continuous learning is evident through my numerous certifications, including medical interpretation training and compliance courses. I am passionate about bridging communication gaps and facilitating understanding in diverse settings.
