Summary: With my background in journalism at the National newspaper in Abu Dhabi particularly as a reporter and
translator, I believe I bring a unique set of transferable skills that would be valuable for a role in any related field.
My experience includes writing, editing, and translating between English and Arabic, which has strengthened my ability to
manage multiple tasks, communicate effectively, and coordinate across different teams.
Throughout my career, I’ve been able to deliver high-quality content under tight deadlines, while ensuring accuracy and

Additionally, my multilingual proficiency (English, Arabic, and French) has allowed me to work with diverse audiences, a skill
that would be especially useful when handling local/international conferences or managing various stakeholders.
