Bio

Professional Persian (Dari/Farsi) Translator with 14 Years of Experience

Native in: Persian (Farsi) -- Send email -- [Indicated on my Profile]


I have always been passionate about languages and cultures, especially English and Persian. I started learning English when I was a kid and continued my education in the field of English Translation and Interpreting at university. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 2016 and a Master’s degree in 2019, both with honors.

I have been working as a freelance translator since 2009, specializing in legal, business, medical, and technical fields. I have also done some projects in other domains such as marketing, education, tourism, and media. I have translated various types of texts such as contracts, certificates, reports, manuals, websites, apps, articles, books, subtitles, etc.

I am a ProZ Certified PRO translator in the English<>Persian language pairs and a member of the Iranian Translators Association (ITA). I am also proficient in using CAT tools and other translation technologies to ensure quality, consistency, and efficiency.

I am committed to delivering accurate, fluent, and culturally appropriate translations that meet the needs and expectations of my clients. I am also eager to learn new things and improve my skills and knowledge constantly.

If you are looking for a reliable, professional, and experienced Persian (Dari and Farsi) translator, please feel free to contact me. I would love to hear from you and discuss how we can work together.
