My strengths as an interpreter
As an interpreter, I am accurate, fast and flexible. I have a deep understanding of both Arabic and Dutch languages, including various dialects. My experience with complex conversations in legal, medical and social contexts helps me convey nuances correctly. In addition, I am professional and customer-oriented, which ensures clear and effective communication."
About my interpreting experience
My passion for language and communication has brought me to where I am today: a dedicated interpreter with a broad background. Since August 2024, I have been working as a professional interpreter, facilitating communication between cultures and languages with precision and empathy. My language skills are deeply rooted in my life story. I grew up in Syria until the age of 16, where I studied Arabic literature, and received my VWO diploma in the Netherlands. As a result, I am fluent in both Arabic and Dutch at a high level, including several dialects. Before my career as an interpreter, I worked for five years as a consultant in the insurance and mortgage industry. This experience further strengthened my analytical ability, customer focus and professionalism. I know how important clear and precise communication is, especially in complex or legal situations. As an interpreter, I combine language skills with cultural sensitivity and a keen eye for detail. My goal is always to build bridges and prevent misunderstandings so that all parties feel heard and understood.
About me (place of birth, native language, other details)
I was born and raised in Syria, where Arabic is my native language. Until the age of 16, I lived there and studied Arabic literature, which deepened my sense of language and cultural knowledge. I later earned my VWO degree in the Netherlands, giving me a strong academic foundation in both Dutch and Arabic. My unique background enables me to flawlessly convey not only language, but also the finer nuances of culture and communication.
