What I'm looking for

I seek translation roles valuing accuracy, cultural nuance, and deadlines—preferably legal/UN or diverse-document projects with collaborative, professional teams.

I am an experienced English–Arabic translator who is passionate about connecting cultures through precise and culturally appropriate language transfer. I ensure translation accuracy and clarity across diverse document types and subject areas.

I hold a professional diploma in legal and UN translation from The American University in Cairo and a Bachelor's degree in Accounting from Mansoura University. I completed a Ground Work Certificate in Written Translation with distinction, studying Arabic grammar, editing, lexicography, terminology, contrastive analysis, and research tools for translation.

I am detail-oriented, organized, and dependable, consistently meeting project schedules and high-quality standards. I am very good at using MateCat and translate multiple documents per day across different translation areas.

I bring advanced English skills and native Arabic proficiency, combining technical training and hands-on experience to deliver translations that respect both meaning and cultural nuance.
