- Professional Summary
- Arabic–English legal interpreter on the National Register of Public Service Interpreters (NRPSI Full Registration No. 17911), holding the Level 6 Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (Law) with Distinction. Native speaker of Yemeni Arabic, with strong command of Gulf Arabic, including the Kuwaiti dialect.
I support solicitors, barristers and experts in Kuwait-related immigration, asylum and nationality matters, including cases involving stateless Bedoon and citizenship revocation. This covers interpreting for expert interviews with appellants and witnesses, solicitor conferences, and tribunal hearings, where accurate rendering of dialect, tribal and family terminology can be decisive.
Available remotely UK-wide by video and telephone, and in person where required. CTC security cleared (to 2030), Enhanced DBS (Update Service), and covered by £1m professional indemnity insurance. I work impartially and in accordance with the NRPSI Code of Professional Conduct.
