Fuad M. Yahya:

I am a professional freelancer providing translation and other language and cross-cultural services.

I have native fluency and a very high level of literacy in both Arabic and English.

My  22 years of translation experience include 11 years  in medical translation and interpreting at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

I hold a BA in philosophy from the University of St. Thomas, Houston, Texas, where I also studied music. I have had additional studies in science and engineering at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

My translation proficiency has been certified by the Language Training and Assessment Unit of the FBI, and my medical terminology proficiency has been certified by BrainBench (R).

I am a member of the American Translators Association (ATA), Houston Interpreters and Translators Association (HITA), and ProZ.com, where I served as moderator of the English-Arabic sub-community until 2007.

I live and work in the First Colony district of the City of Sugar Land, a suburb of Houston in Fort Bend County, Texas. I frequently travel on translation, interpreting, and cultural orientation assignments in the United States and abroad, but I can be reached by cell phone and email. See my contact information.

I was born and raised in Qatif, in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
