Bio

Born in Tunisia, my native languages are French and Arabic. French, however, has always been my language of expertise. I was raised in the United States and lived there on and off for a total of 13 years while attending the Lycée Rochambeau (French International School) in Washington, DC. This made me a bilingual at the mere age of five.

Since childhood, I’ve developed a strong passion and ease for languages. I grew up in countries as diverse as Japan, Israel, Tunisia, France and Spain. By the age of 16, I already spoke French, English, Arabic and Spanish fluently. At the George Washington University, I started studying International Affairs and Economics, with a minor in Exercise Science.

Later, I decided to fully exploit my language skills and went on to complete two bachelor’s degrees, one in Translation and Interpretation and the other in Arts, Literature and European Studies, both at the Université de Perpignan in southern France. There, I quickly learned Catalan and was awarded a scholarship to complete a master’s degree in Advanced Studies of Catalan Language, Literature and Culture at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Tarragona, Spain. In 2014, with the aim of furthering my personal business skills, I also completed a graduate degree in Marketing & Leadership at the Universitat de Girona (Spain). 

What services do I offer as a freelancer?

Since I’ve started working as a freelancer, I’ve gained comprehensive knowledge in many fields such as Tourism and Travel, Business and Marketing, Contracts, Technical Translation, International Affairs and Economics and Literature among others.

Furthermore, I previously worked as a Language Vendor Manager and Project Manager at a top Spanish translation company, so I fully understand the needs of my clients and those of the industry.

My services include translation, creative writing, localization, editing, proofreading, LQA, subtitling, transcription and liaison interpretation.

I strongly believe that every project is unique and should be treated accordingly.

Where am I based and what are my hobbies?

I currently live in Girona, Spain, a lovely and inspiring medieval Catalan town, very close to Barcelona and with an eye on the Pyrenees mountain range. On my spare time, I enjoy being in the outdoors. Mountains are my second home. I like to trail run, climb and ski. Such adventures not only help me reset my mind, they teach me to love whatever it is I’m doing. And that’s a vital lesson.
