About
Tunisian-Canadian, Arabic native, and shaped by nearly three decades in the Gulf — I interpret not only language, but context, protocol and intent.
Trained in conference interpreting at York University, Toronto, I have supported government officials, senior advisers, international teams and local communities across aerospace, conservation, cultural heritage and sustainability. Each assignment begins with rigorous preparation: specialised terminology research and bespoke glossaries, so that your message lands exactly as intended.
