What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values cultural accuracy and offers growth opportunities in translation and education.

I am a multilingual English Language and Literature graduate from Birzeit University, where I graduated with distinction. My specialization in Arabic-English translation and cross-cultural communication has equipped me with the skills to deliver high-quality, culturally accurate content for diverse audiences. I have a proven track record in tutoring, interpretation, and editing, which has allowed me to effectively engage with international communities in educational and nonprofit contexts.

Currently, I work as a Verbal Translator for Nonviolent Communication International, providing oral interpretation for Arabic and English speakers in online meetings. My freelance experience as an English tutor and translator has further honed my ability to adapt to various proficiency levels and ensure linguistic accuracy in diverse documents. I am passionate about fostering effective communication and understanding across cultures.
