Bio


I specialize in providing discovery metadata for Middle Eastern resources in Arabic script languages such as Arabic, Persian, Pashto, and Urdu. Additionally, I offer metadata support for digital collections accessioned to the Stanford Digital Repository, where I have been a valued team member since 2018. Prior to joining Stanford Libraries, I served as the Quality Assurance Librarian at the Library of Congress Cairo Office, amassing over twenty years of experience in the field.
