In addition to my translation and editing experience, I have also presented my original research at nationally-recognized conferences, such as the Georgetown University Roundtable on Linguistics and the annual meetings of the Middle East Studies Association and International Linguistics Association.

I am currently an active member of the American Translators Association (January 2009 – present) where I regularly contribute to the newsletter of the ATA's Medical Division and Proz.com where I review Arabic translations into English for Proz.com translators desiring to receive the "PRO" designation.

I am also a member of the American Association of Teachers of Arabic (1998-present), as well as the National Council of Less Commonly Taught Languages (June 2011 - present).

My past activities include serving as the Information Chair for the National Capital Area Translator’s Association (January 2010 – June 2011) and forum moderator for Proz.com (2009-2010).

I have over nine years of work and translation experience in German and Arabic in the following specializations: medicine (including pharmaceutics and medical instruments), law (including patents and contracts), finance, marketing, tourism, engineering, IT/computers and science (botany, chemistry). In addition, I also translate all types of certificates (birth, marriage, death), as well as diplomas and transcripts.
