Arabic ⇄ English conference interpreter with over fifteen years' experience in simultaneous, consecutive and remote simultaneous (RSI) interpreting — qualified in both linguistics and law.

MA (Distinction) in Interpreting and Translating, University of Salford; Postgraduate Diploma in Law, University of South Wales; CIOL Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (Law). Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL), registered with the National Register of Public Service Interpreters (NRPSI), and an ITI Member by Interview (MITI).

I interpret for heads of state, ministers and senior government delegations, and in the settings where accuracy carries consequence — treaty bodies, tribunals, multilateral summits and boardrooms. Clients have included the International Criminal Court, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the World Bank Group, the IMF, NATO, UNDP, UNICEF, USAID, GIZ, EU institutions, the UK Parliament, the High Court of England and Wales, Bloomberg, Zoom, the British Council, and Middle Eastern governments.

Core subject areas:
• Legal and judicial — international arbitration, High Court proceedings, tribunals, contracts and treaties
• Diplomacy and multilateral affairs — heads of state and ministerial delegations, 5+5 Defence Dialogue, Budapest Process, ICESCO
• Medical, healthcare and life sciences — medico-legal condition and prognosis examinations, COP30 Healthy Cities (public health and climate-health policy), pharmaceutical and counter-narcotics training (DEA/ILEA)
• Defence and security
• Finance, investment and capital markets
• Energy, climate and sustainability

Recent assignments include remote simultaneous interpreting on Interprefy and Zoom for international conferences, consecutive interpreting for an Omani government delegation training programme at the University of Cambridge, and medico-legal interpreting in NHS personal injury proceedings.

I also lecture and speak on interpreting practice, having worked with students at City, University of London and the German Jordanian University in Amman.

Available worldwide. Holding both British and Jordanian nationality, I travel readily and at short notice for international assignments — in the booth, remotely, or on site — across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and beyond.
