What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design and deliver learner-centered training, apply language interpretation, and support career development in collaborative, growth-oriented organizations.

I am a bilingual interpreter and certified trainer with over seven years of experience in interpretation, training, and education, fluent in Arabic, Chinese, and English. I have worked across legal interpretation, soft-skills training, instructional design, and career coaching, delivering programs and translation services for public and private sector clients.

My background includes roles as a Chinese interpreter for a public prosecution office, instructional roles at a military language institute, freelance soft-skills training, and specialist internships in training development. I hold multiple certifications in instructional design, game-based learning, gamification, and professional training, and completed scholarships in Chinese language teaching and interpretation.

I bring a learner-centered, practical approach to training design and delivery, combining language expertise with coaching and multimedia tools to create engaging, results-focused learning experiences that support career development and organizational needs.
