What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values cultural understanding and offers opportunities for impactful work.

I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in translation, cultural mediation, and humanitarian work. My journey began with a strong academic foundation in Social Science and English Language and Literature, which has equipped me with the skills necessary to bridge cultural gaps and facilitate communication in diverse settings.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Translator/Interpreter for the International Blue Crescent Relief & Development Foundation and Chief Editor at Bidgol Publishing House. My work has involved translating significant texts, managing editorial teams, and contributing to humanitarian projects that support vulnerable communities. I pride myself on my ability to adapt to different environments and work collaboratively with diverse teams to achieve common goals.

In addition to my professional experience, I have a passion for teaching and have lectured on various topics related to literature and philosophy. I am committed to continuous learning and growth, and I seek opportunities that allow me to leverage my skills in translation and cultural understanding to make a positive impact.
