What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my language skills and cultural insights in innovative projects, particularly in AI and education.

I am a native Arabic speaker with near-native English fluency and over four years of professional experience in language education, academic writing instruction, and cultural content development. My passion lies in ensuring linguistic accuracy and cultural relevance in all my communications. Recently, I completed my TESOL master’s degree at the University of Glasgow, focusing on inclusive and context-aware teaching methodologies.

Throughout my career, I have taught over 200 Arabic-speaking students in academic writing and advanced grammar, designed culturally nuanced lesson content, and provided constructive feedback to enhance their learning experience. I have also coordinated academic webinars, facilitating structured discourse and audience engagement. I am now eager to contribute to AI advancement through Arabic content creation, cultural insight, and data annotation.
