What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute my interpretation, translation, refugee documentation, and operational coordination experience in a mission-driven, cross-cultural environment supporting diverse stakeholders.

I've supported UNHCR resettlement operations in Tehran by interpreting RSD/RST interviews, translating refugee documents, auditing case files, and coordinating appointments for resettlement partners including Australia, New Zealand, and Finland.

I also bring extensive media and translation experience from Press TV, MTN Irancell, NAM News Agency, and Nemune Translation Office. I produce accurate Farsi-English translations, manage confidential records, coordinate stakeholders, and deliver reliable support under pressure.
