Profile:
I am an experienced professor of translation, interpreting and English as well as professional translator and interpreter, with national and international experience. I have already worked in Libya, UK, and United Arab Emirates. I have taught English, translation and interpreting at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. In addition to teaching, my academic record includes syllabus design, curriculum development, translation evaluation, translator and interpreter training design, and language testing. My translation and interpreting accomplishment record includes the translation and interpreting of a wide range of genres and discourse types including political, business, legal, economic, banking, socio-cultural, and religious types.
I also have good supervision and managerial skills in corporate and educational environments. I have already worked as head of Translation Department, assistant-dean and dean of School of Languages for six years. People see me as a good team leader who has a clear vision of what he wants to do. I pay good attention to my professional development and I am always willing to accept new challenges. I can relate to a wide range of people from different cultures and I possess the ability to work both independently and in a team environment. I am ambitious, creative, highly motivated, very well organized, painstaking, and punctual in meeting deadlines, with excellent oral and written communication skills in both Arabic and English.
