Bio

A linguist and translator, with a Chopin-like approach in as far as the knowledge, the gift, the art, and the skills a proficient wordsmith needs to have. This is in the sense that "Knowing two languages does not make one a translator any more than having ten fingers makes one a pianist".

It is the having of these competencies that I pride myself in and employ in fine-tuning, producing, and orchestrating (Arabic - English) target language texts.  An orchestration meant to reflect an accurate, optimal, flawless, and faithful approximation to the spirit, style, tone, nuance, and verbatim of the source texts.

Equally performing other language-related services,   including, proofreading, copyediting, transcription, subtitling, localization, annotation, as well as other linguistic consultation tasks.

Native-Arabic speaking linguist and translator having an innate passion for excellence.  A passion, anchored by triple specialized academic majors, developed, refined, and enriched over 29 years into proven, competent expertise.


An established background in a wide range of translation specialties, including business, marketing, financial, legal, media, political, humanitarian development, educational, petroleum, medical, technical, and creative writings among other genres.
