What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my multilingual translation, interpretation, content, localization, and project-management experience in work that values accuracy, fast delivery, and complex linguistic challenges.

I've delivered over 500 translation and interpretation projects across Arabic, English, German, Spanish, and French, including more than 50 live interpretation forums and conferences. I'm ALTA Certified and have experience in medical OPI/OVI, live setups, and localization.

As a freelance technical content writer and video captioner, I've completed over 200 projects and edited or proofread over 200 articles, alongside more than 100 captioning projects for lectures, sessions, and seminars. I focus on fast delivery, linguistic clarity, accuracy, and following guidelines.

I've also led translation operations at PlayIt Records, managed 30+ projects, and headed medical accreditation operations at Yotta Medical School, including two major contracts with Saudi educational institutions. My background includes pharmacy, public relations, data management, and language teaching.
