Bio

Arabic to English translation, editing, and proofreading by a trained writer and native speaker of US English


A translator conveys meaning from one language to another. For a translation that flows, is easy to read, and captures nuances – for English that really sounds like English – you need a writer. Fortunately, I'm both.

In my past professional life, I spent a decade writing and editing for newspapers, covering a little bit of everything – from business to crime to politics, but primarily education and local government. Most importantly, I honed the craft of clear communication through writing. 

Now, following U.S. Army Service during which I learned Arabic, I help clients understand the legal precedents in other court systems, gain insight into consumer preferences, conduct due diligence on target companies, and present themselves to English-speaking investors. I'm always open to new opportunities and new ways to help you communicate!
