Brainstormer, Educator/Teacher, Life mentor, Writer/Editor

An educator, translator, and TEDx curator with over a decade of experience in language education and creative storytelling. Based in Erbil, Iraq. A Master’s degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) and a Bachelor's in English-Arabic Translation. Served for eight years as a professional translator at Spacetoon, refining my skills in linguistic nuance and narrative craft. As a TEDx curator, I play a key role in shaping speaker journeys from raw ideas to powerful stage moments. Working closely with youth to uncover deeply personal, socially relevant stories, helping them break free from silence and speak their truth. My work is grounded in the belief that every voice, no matter how young or vulnerable, has the power to inspire necessary change.

Helping young people find their voice—on the page, on the stage, and in their lives. Whether through teaching, translation, or TEDx coaching, I believe in the power of storytelling to heal, connect, and transform. I'm especially passionate about guiding students to unlearn perfectionism, embrace vulnerability, and use language not just to impress, but to express who they truly are.
