Profile

I have a BA in English Language Education from Jeddah Teachers’ College, Saudi Arabia (2005), and an MA in English Linguistics from King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia (2014). I’ve successfully finished my PhD in Translation Studies (Qur’an translation) (2019–2023). My thesis is entitled (Translation of Qur’anic ‘heart’ phrases into English with particular reference to key linguistic features).

I taught English as a foreign language (EFL) in Ibn-khaldoun Secondary School in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for ten years (2006–2016). I then went to the Islamic University of Madinah, Saudi Arabia as a lecturer to teach EFL and English for specific purposes (2016–Present).
