What I'm looking for

I seek roles using my bilingual translation and copywriting strengths to lead localization, content strategy, and high-impact marketing communications within culturally aware teams, offering career growth and meaningful client impact.

I am a bilingual Arabic–English translator and copywriter with over six years of experience translating, transcreating, and localizing government, consultancy, media, and marketing content for MENA audiences. I focus on producing culturally fluent, brand-aligned copy that preserves intent and maximizes impact across channels.

I have handled high-volume technical proposals (over 1.2 million words), led teams and style-guide development, and delivered UX writing, landing pages, and high-conversion email and ad copy for service-based businesses. My work includes press releases, campaign messaging, long-form articles, and academic proofreading with strong attention to terminology and stylistic consistency.

I combine CAT tools and modern content tools (SDL Trados, MemoQ, Phrase, Cleverso, Canva, Figma) with marketing frameworks (AIDA, PAS) to build strategic content systems, improve conversion, and ensure regional cultural resonance, especially for Saudi and Emirati dialects.
