What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to utilize my language skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on cultural adaptation and high-quality translations.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented translator based in the Emirates, with native proficiency in Arabic and Persian, and B2 (Upper-Intermediate) proficiency in English and German. Originally from Oman, I bring a deep understanding of cultural nuances to every project, ensuring translations are not only accurate but also resonate authentically with the target audience.

My commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable translation services bridges language barriers and facilitates clear communication. I focus on client satisfaction while maintaining the integrity of the source material. My experience includes translating marketing communications, product descriptions, and various documents, always with a keen eye for detail and cultural relevance.
