About
Prior to joining the University of Liverpool, I taught at University College London, Birkbeck College and Lancaster University. I am also a practising translator and most recently worked as an Arabic translator at the British Library for seven years.
I hold a PhD in Linguistics and MA in Language Studies from Lancaster University, and a BA in English Language from Ain Shams University in Egypt. I am also a Chartered Linguist with a DipTrans from CIOL Qualifications.
