Esraa Mamdouh Helmy Email & Phone Number

I am a passion-driven English/Arabic translator and have always enjoyed writing. Throughout my career, I was lucky to find opportunities to utilize my love for writing such as writing and proofreading survey reports, proposals, press releases, social media and blog posts. I always welcome new opportunities to develop and expand my writing skills.I am also highly interested in survey research with a special focus on gender studies. I worked as a survey researcher for 7 years in the Egyptian Cabinet’s Information and Decision Support Center and have been involved in most of the stages of conducting a survey, including questionnaire design, data collection, data analysis and reporting the findings. My tasks also included tracking international polls and news, preparing background papers and policy advice documents, preparing graphical presentations for poll findings and translating latest poll reports and news.

Listed skills include Analysis, Teamwork, Arabic, Report Writing, and 23 others.
