Experienced translator and cultural adviser with 20 years in diplomacy.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated translator and cultural adviser with over 20 years of experience, specializing in political and cultural relations. My academic background includes a Bachelor's Degree in English from the University of Mosul, which has equipped me with the linguistic proficiency necessary for my roles. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with the U.S. Embassy in Iraq, providing critical insights into the political, economic, and security landscape of the region.
In my recent position at Alutiiq Solutions, I served as a Cultural Adviser for the Political Section at the U.S. Embassy, where I was responsible for sending detailed reports on the current situation in Iraq and facilitating meetings between Iraqi officials and U.S. representatives. My ability to engage with Iraqi officials and social figures has been instrumental in promoting U.S. government policies and fostering strong diplomatic relationships.
My previous roles at Cherokee Company, Allnative Company, and various others have further honed my skills in translation and cultural advisement, particularly in high-stakes environments involving the U.S. Army. I am fluent in English, Arabic, and Assyrian, and I also speak Kurdish, which enhances my ability to communicate effectively across diverse cultural contexts.
