What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue coordinating culturally sensitive international healthcare, advocating for patients and enabling clear communication among medical teams and diplomatic stakeholders.

I coordinate cross-border medical care for embassy-affiliated patients at Cedars Sinai and with diplomatic missions.

I liaise between doctors, nurses, patients, and embassy officials, ensuring clear and accurate Arabic-English communication. I translate diagnoses, treatment plans, and consent forms so patients can understand their care.

I manage scheduling, admissions, discharge planning, and medical-record transfers while protecting confidentiality and following medical and diplomatic protocols.

I navigate cultural, religious, and diplomatic sensitivities to advocate for clear understanding between patients and care teams.
