Professional Arabic interpreter and translator specializing in medical and legal settings.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a professional Arabic interpreter and translator with extensive experience across medical, legal, and general domains, serving onsite, phone, and video assignments. I work with multiple Arabic dialects including North African, Egyptian, Levantine, Iraqi, and Modern Standard Arabic.
Trained in medical interpretation (40-hour ALTA course) and assessed on consecutive interpretation (ALTA 9/ILR), I have supported hospitals, clinics, and multiple language service agencies since 2012, and conducted court interpretation for immigration, family, criminal, and civil matters since 2014. I also handle document translation and sight translation for immigration-related proceedings.
I prioritize accurate, timely renditions and culturally appropriate communication to ensure client understanding and procedural fairness, and I have a proven record of accompanying patients to appointments, assisting with forms, and delivering interpretation across medical, mechanical, law, and general contexts.
