What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a growth-oriented opportunity where I can leverage my translation, localization, and media/content strategy expertise—contributing to organizational success in a dynamic, results-driven environment.

I’m a certified sworn translator for the Lebanese Courts with 20+ years of experience, driven by a passion for languages and linguistic accuracy. I translate across politics, economics, education, marketing, and legal domains, and I’m proficient in Arabic and English—while also collaborating with major organizations including FIFA, FAO, the World Bank, UNDP, and UNESCO offices in Beirut and Paris.

Over time, I’ve expanded into content and communications: I create and localize messaging, manage media strategies, and support crisis communication and stakeholder engagement. In recent roles, I translate and adapt complex technical and website content for Arabic-speaking audiences, and I’ve led corporate and public communication efforts—improving digital presence, follower interaction, and media engagement—while also delivering executive speechwriting, press relations, and bilingual translation under tight deadlines.
