MA student , TRANSLATION AND INTERPETING; Salford university
BA in English Literature Damascus university 2000-2004

During my undergraduate study, I worked as a trainee translator in Alfarabi translation office in Damascus. Then, I started to work as a freelancer translator and interpreter for number of agencies.

I worked in the audiovisual translation field in one of the major translation studios in the middle east . Some of the materials that I translated are NASA documentaries, two Hollywood stars biographies, and one series (street justice) which was done in a team work environment. This was freelancing work which meant that I had to work on my own initiative. I had to meet tight deadlines as this translation work was for movies to be broadcasted on national TV.
As an interpreter I worked for a touring company in Damascus . My duty was to accompany American tourist on their journeys.

I really liked this site, and specially after knowing those great things about Pasty [Patricia Jennings-Welch, founder of the Greenhouse School, who died at the age of 81 on February, 26th, 2009], and because I believe that besides earning money and creating a reputation, one must have a volunteer thing to do so that at the end of the day you feel good about yourself.
