At Hekayat Kuutab Publishing and Distribution, I published my short novel, Dus Al-Sam Fi Al-Qahwa (Putting Poison in the Coffee). It blends romance, psychology, and magical realism within a thriller narrative.

My background also includes teaching English at Schoola Academy and E-Planet Academy, where I taught students at different levels and created lesson plans. At Schoola Academy, I delivered cultural knowledge alongside language instruction.

I studied English language and am pursuing a Master's Degree in Translation and New Technology. My thesis examines quality control in English-to-Arabic sitcom subtitling using a human-AI collaborative workflow, and I have experience localizing advertisements for English, Arabic, and Egyptian audiences.
