What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my translation skills in a collaborative environment, with opportunities for professional growth and development.

As a recent graduate with a B.A. in Translation from Lebanese International University, I have developed a strong foundation in legal and technical translation. My academic achievements, including a GPA of 3.7, reflect my dedication to mastering the intricacies of language and communication. I have honed my skills through relevant coursework in Legal Translation, Technical Translation, and Editing & Proofreading.

In my role as a Junior Translator at World Translation, I successfully managed the translation of over 1,000 legal documents, ensuring accuracy and compliance with legal terminology. My experience collaborating with senior translators and legal professionals has equipped me with the ability to maintain consistency and precision in legal texts. I am proficient in utilizing CAT tools such as SDL Trados and MemoQ, which have enhanced my translation efficiency and terminology consistency.
