EDWENA EGYPTIAN QUEEN

In my professional experience I have gained valuable expertise in various fields. For nine years I worked as a pharmacist in pharmaceutical inspection in Egypt. In this capacity, I played a crucial role in ensuring the quality, safety and compliance of pharmaceutical products. I conducted rigorous inspections, assessed manufacturing processes and verified compliance. This experience fostered my attention to detail, analytical skills and ability to navigate complex regulations.

Alongside my career in pharmaceutical inspection, I simultaneously pursued my passion for language and communication. I worked as a translator in a publishing house in Basel and specialised in translating texts from Arabic, Classical Arabic, English, Ancient Greek and Latin. This enabled me to develop strong language skills, precision in translation and excellent time management to deliver high quality translations within tight deadlines.

I also have extensive experience in academic teaching, where I created an engaging and inclusive learning environment. This work has enhanced my ability to effectively communicate complex concepts and tailor teaching methods to different audiences. I have developed strong organisational skills and a strong commitment to meeting curriculum objectives.

I also earned a Master's degree in a multidisciplinary subject dealing with the captivating topic of ancient Egyptian medical papyri. Through intensive research and critical analysis, I have deepened my knowledge in this field while honing my research skills and attention to detail. The culmination of my efforts was the award of summa cum laude for my dissertation, reflecting my commitment to academic excellence.

Throughout my professional career, I have always been committed to feminist ideals and supporting marginalised communities. I actively participate in feminist discourse and strive to create inclusive spaces that nurture people from diverse backgrounds.

In summary, I have been a pharmacist specialising in pharmaceutical inspection, a translator with expertise in several languages, an academic teacher and a dedicated researcher. I bring a unique combination of skills including attention to detail, good language skills, effective communication and a commitment to promoting inclusion. "

"My main education includes a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy, which I obtained in 2002, and a Bachelor's degree in Greek and Latin, which I completed in 2010. These degrees have given me a broad foundation of knowledge and skills needed to succeed in various fields.
