What I'm looking for

I'm seeking complex editorial and localization challenges where I can create culturally authentic multilingual content that strengthens global understanding, brand integrity, and meaningful change.

I've translated and localized high-profile campaigns at Havas Middle East for Adidas, Salvatore Ferragamo, Versace, Michael Kors, Guess, and Calvin Klein, adapting global brand voices for MENA audiences. I also localized Marriott International Group communications and The Ritz-Carlton Reserve NEOM launch materials across Arabic and English.

My work spans fashion, art, media, humanitarian communications, and policy documents. At Ayyam Gallery, I translated more than 100 artist interviews, press kits, and exhibition catalogs, while at Meedan and Free Press Unlimited I edited, fact-checked, translated, and adapted content for clarity, cultural sensitivity, and compliance.
