What I'm looking for

I'm available for academic and technical writing, editing, proofreading, research synthesis, documentation, institutional communications, university English instruction, Writing Center tutoring, translation, linguistic support, and language- and AI-related research activities.

As a Freelance Translator and Editor, I translate and edit academic, educational, legal, institutional, and professional materials for multiple clients and organizations. I review theses, research studies, legal documents, proposals, and educational articles for accuracy, terminology, clarity, and appropriate tone.

At University of Sciences and Arts in Lebanon, I taught remedial university English and supported students through the Writing Center. I hold an MA in Computational Linguistics from Lebanese University and am pursuing PhD studies focused on an NLP-based AI–teacher framework for grammar learning.
