Translation Experience

My interest in the Arabic language stems from having lived in Khartoum, Sudan for five years during my early childhood.  I began my formal study of the language while a college student, traveling to and studying in Egypt and Morocco as part of my undergraduate degree in Religious Studies and Classical Languages.  I went on to make Arabic and Islamic studies the focus of my master’s degree in Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School, and decided upon completion of that degree that I wanted to work as a translator.

Since 2005 I have worked on freelance basis providing Arabic translation services as well as consulting for clients working in the Arabic speaking world.  My main areas of specialization are legal and governmental documents, current events materials, and religious texts.  I am a member of the American Translators Association and the Colorado Translators Association.  For more information on my experience, please go to my list of previous clients, or click here to download a PDF copy of my CV.

Teaching Experience

In addition to my work as a translator, since the fall of 2006 I have taught at several schools in the Denver metro area.  I offer Arabic language courses through Front Range Community College and the Boulder Valley School District’s Lifelong Learning program, and courses on Islamic history and culture through Naropa University.
