Available to hire
I am Abeer Abu Saud, a senior copywriter and editorial specialist fluent in Arabic and English, with 18+ years of experience delivering high-quality Arabic<>English translations and content for international organizations, media, and development projects. I specialize in localization, subtitling, dubbing, and creative copywriting across marketing, media, healthcare, sustainable development, humanitarian programs, education, gender, and community development, ensuring linguistic accuracy and cultural relevance in multilingual content production.
I have collaborated with USAID, UNICEF, the European Commission, Jordan River Foundation, Injaz Al Arab, and the King Hussein Institute for Biotechnology and Cancer. I authored the book Qatari Women: Past and Present (Longman, UK, 1984), the first English-language book on Qatari women, which informed radio programming. I enjoy mentoring teams, conducting audience research, and delivering campaigns that resonate with Arabic-speaking audiences.
