Bilingual translator and content strategist delivering accurate language, editorial quality, and engagement.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven bilingual translator and strategic content specialist with 10+ years of experience spanning translation, editing, journalism, social media, and HR management. At the German Embassy, I translate and interpret Arabic-English (and vice versa) with strong attention to cultural and contextual nuances, including real-time and word-for-word proofreading for grammar and spelling.
I bring a high standard for accuracy under pressure, translating legal documents such as pleadings, contracts, and agreements while maintaining sensitivity to emotive topics. I also support communication and coordination across high-level meetings, while applying structured planning, research, and continuous training to deliver dependable outcomes and exceed deadlines.
