During the last 20 years, I have practiced and taught translation. I translated six books, many poems, short stories and other types of texts- legal, business, finnacial, managemnt, social, political, media, and else, from English into Arabic. I also worked as an interpreter in three conferences held from 1995-1998. I did many assignments as consecutive interpreter. I worked as a translator and interpreter for international institutions such as Knight Ridder Newspapers- Baghdad Bureau, Reuters Foundation project Aswat Al-Iraq (Voices of Iraq), and others.
I have an extensive expertise in translating from Arabic into English particularly in the fields of media, legal translation, management, administration, politics, science, and others. I published about 4200 stories translated and edited from Arabic into English during 2006 through 2008 on Aswat Al-Iraq News Agency Website- The English Portal. I also did consecutive interpretation from Arabic into English for Knight Ridder Newspapers journalists, Dallas Morning News Journalist Cheryl Diaz Meyer during 2003, and more assigniments for other institutions.
