About

I am a translator searching for an enriching opportunity to help me develop myself as a freelance translator. I believe in writing quality material, even though it takes twice as long and doubles the effort. While I'm new to this sector, I have faith in my skills and efforts. For now, I don't foresee a big salary; only a decent sum and a chance to grow are enough. I am currently an intern at JS Translations in Jounieh, where we translate all types of documents from Arabic into English and French and vice versa. Moreover, I am a tutor in which I help the students understand key concepts, especially those learned in the classroom and assist them with homework, projects, test preparation, and other academic tasks. In addition, I am advanced in understanding of basic office applications, including MS Office Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
