Bio
My goal is to work with clients who seek an Arabic-English 0r English-Arabic translation, proofreading or copy editing to produce a more polished, coherent, and grammatically correct product. I'm a fluent English speaker living in Spydeberg, Norway. I received my bachelor's degree in English language and its literature from Aleppo University in 2017. Also, I am very familiar with the American Psychological Association (APA) style and the Modern Language Association (MLA) style. I hold a subscription to these styles' online manuals as well as the latest unabridged version of the Merriam-Webster, Longman, and Oxford dictionaries.
 I am well-versed in using Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat. I also work on Trados, a translation program and other translating websites like Matecat. I am able to edit all types of copy, including blog posts, articles, web pages, magazines, short stories, novels, and non-fiction manuscripts, with a special interest in self-development, health, science, and travel genres.
A perfect translation will give the reader an impression of reading a source text. The text has to flow, suit the target audience, and be free from grammatical errors. Before delivering a finished product to a paying customer, these criteria should be met and fulfilled. Deadlines are of uttermost importance, and I'm willing to work during the nighttime if necessary due to short deadlines or huge projects.
Besides that, I have great experience in teaching English. I have taught English for more than four years as a trainer.
Those around me describe me as a conscientious individual with a keen eye for details, excellent communication skills, and high professionalism. Let me prove myself to you. Hire me for your editing or proofreading needs. I look forward to working with you!
