I’m a multilingual localization and translation professional who optimizes workflows and delivers high-quality global content.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented multilingual translator and localization specialist focused on turning content into culturally accurate, engaging experiences for global audiences. In my current remote role at Terra Localization (Gaming), I adapt in-game text, dialogue, UI elements, and marketing materials while collaborating closely with developers, QA, and creative teams to keep localization seamless across platforms.
Since 2016, I’ve worked as a freelance translator handling legal, political, military, medical, technical, administrative, financial, and human rights content with precise terminology, cultural nuance, and strong tone preservation. I also localize digital media and video content, delivering accurate subtitles and captions that stay readable and well-timed for real audiences.
Alongside translation, I bring operational strength from years in administrative roles and business support. At Palestinian Information Technology Association of Companies (PITA), I managed front-desk operations, compliance-aligned administrative processes, travel logistics, and financial/office operations, while supporting meetings, workshops, and day-to-day office coordination.
I’ve also invested in people development through teaching and training—designing lesson plans, assessments, and interactive sessions as an English teacher and delivering business training via INJAZ Palestine. I approach every project with structured workflow optimization, quality assurance, CAT/translation memory best practices, and knowledge transfer that helps teams deliver consistently.
