What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to engage in research and translation, ideally in a collaborative environment that values cultural exchange and linguistic diversity.

I am a passionate linguist and researcher currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Arabic Language and Literature at Jawaharlal Nehru University. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to understanding the complexities of Middle Eastern history and politics, particularly through the lenses of colonial legacies and cultural exchange. I have excelled in my studies, graduating with a 92% in my Bachelor's degree and engaging in various relevant coursework that has enriched my understanding of the region.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained practical experience through translation and research roles, where I have translated historical and contemporary Arabic texts. My work as a Lingual Content Creator and AI Trainer has allowed me to develop content in multiple languages and contribute to AI model training initiatives. I am actively involved in academic discussions and initiatives at JNU, including contributing to the editorial team of our annual student magazine, Al Yamboo.
