WHAT I OFFERConference interpreting
Are you planning…
- a high-ranking delegation visit from Maghreb?
- a study tour with participants from North Africa?
- a business trip to the Gulf Region?
Professional conference interpreting requires a capacity for nuance, precision and concentration, as well as cognitive and intellectual agility. It builds upon the use of modular strategies, techniques and competences, which are being researched in the still fledgling area of Interpreting Studies and its parent area of Translation Studies.
With the completion of a comprehensive degree program at FTSK Germersheim, in combination with extensive stays abroad in the UK and the Arab World, and with over a decade of professional experience at the highest national and international levels, I am currently active as both: A practicing Interpreting Studies researcher and a professional conference interpreter.
Conference interpreting is not only my area of specialization, but also my passion!My interpreting services at a glance:
Languages:- Arabic (native)
- German (native)
- English

- Media interpreting for radio and television (including live broadcasts)
My goal is for my Translation Services, professional know-how and work ethic to meet and exceed your specific needs. As an interpreter regularly commissioned by the German government, I have successfully completed numerous security inspections in accordance with the German Security Clearance Act. Every project is treated with the utmost secrecy, confidentiality and discretion.
Be it at (specialist) conferences, contract negotiations, round-table discussions, media appearances or delegation visits, I am your experienced and trusted partner for all your interpreting-related needs in Germany and abroad.
I invite you to get to know me and my work. Then, let us talk about how you can put my service pledge to the test.Remote Interpreting (RI)
In light of the current pandemic, I have been offering remote interpreting using online conference solutions for several months now, also via various online platforms depending on customer requirements.
Remote Interpreting offers you the possibility to have your virtual meetings interpreted simultaneously (or consecutively). The interpreters are located at a different place and interpret “remotely” via an internet-based video and/or audio line – of course, with the very same high quality you are used to.
Powerhouse Team
Are you looking for a team?
Experience and superb teamwork are the strength of our powerhouse team. We have been co-operating for years in the frameworks of large-scale projects providing simultaneous and consecutive interpreting for expert conferences and delegations.
Rest assured we would deliver a steady performance of precise, high-quality interpretation throughout the day to guarantee a smooth communication between your guests and audience.

Are you organizing…
- a conference with Arabic-speaking guests?
- a multi-lateral meeting with business partners from the Arab world?
Thanks to my extensive network of experienced conference interpreters and technical translators, I can support you in assembling large teams of interpreters and translators. Moreover, I can provide you with professional advice on the optimum interpreting modes and the equipment necessary for your event.
Typically, conference interpreters work in teams of two and three. Thus, a network amongst colleagues is imperative, as is the friendly cooperation and collaborative skills of each individual team member. To this end, I have worked with an extensive network of highly qualified colleagues—beyond my own language pairs—in close and friendly collaboration.
Close collaboration is also a key pillar of every one of my technical translation jobs. I work with a professional network of Arabic, German and English experts and always employ the “dual-control” method, to ensure that every translation delivered is of native-speaker quality.
I look forward to getting to know you and discussing your needs!Technical and certified translations

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECTQUALITY
The success of your message is wholly dependent on the performance of interpreters and translators at your side, as they assume the role of linguistic and cultural mediators.

My promise of quality includes the utmost levels of precision, meticulousness and contextual coherence, irrespective of the discipline performed. Because quality has always been my top priority!

I am dedicated to ensuring that my translation services, professional know-how and work ethic meet and exceed your specific needs. I place a great deal of importance on short response times and quick offer submission, as well as transparent and personalized project execution. Coupled with my standing as a senior member of the Association of Conference Interpreters (VKD) within the BDÜ, I abide by the professional and ethics statues (PDF). In short: You always receive the highest degree of professionalism. In every project!
