Arabic interpreter at AWAS who translated for asylum seekers and supported clear communication.
MaltaWhat I'm looking for
At AWAS, I interpreted from Arabic to English for clients seeking financial allowance or accommodation. I also welcomed asylum seekers in the reception area and helped ensure effective communication.
At International Protection Agency (IPA), I interpreted and translated spoken and written communication between Arabic and English. I also registered and documented new applications and carried out reception duties.
I bring over 12 years of experience in professional interpreting and cross-cultural communication. Having lived in Syria for 29 years and travelled across Middle Eastern and North African countries, I have firsthand knowledge of the Arab world and can understand different Arabic dialects.
I'm fluent in spoken and written Arabic and English, and hold a Diploma in Computer Science from University of Aleppo. I'm interested in applying my language and regional knowledge to Arabic-language research, market intelligence, international business development, and regional analysis.
