Dedicated English-Arabic translator with 6 years of experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated language specialist with over six years of experience in English-Arabic translation and a decade of teaching English as a second language. My multilingual abilities include native proficiency in Arabic, high proficiency in English, and advanced skills in French, alongside a basic understanding of Chinese, which I am currently learning.
Throughout my career, I have worked as a freelance translator for notable organizations such as Project Syndicate and Watching America, where I translated a wide range of topics, enhancing accessibility for English-speaking audiences. My experience has allowed me to consolidate my language skills and develop a strong terminological background across various fields, including finance, politics, and climate change.
In addition to my translation work, I have held various ESL teaching positions that have strengthened my linguistic expertise and cross-cultural awareness. I am proficient with CAT tools like SDL Trados and subtitling software, which further enhances my translation capabilities. I am passionate about continuous learning and adapting to new challenges in the field of translation.
