Syrian Arab RepublicWhat I'm looking for
I am a translator and localization specialist with over 8 years of experience adapting content across e-commerce, marketing, and audio-visual industries for global platforms. I have localized thousands of minutes of content for clients including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney, and Discovery, combining linguistic precision with cultural insight to preserve brand voice and drive conversions.
I excel in transcreation, subtitling, script adaptation, and project management, and I have led teams on tight deadlines to deliver high-quality localized assets.
