What I'm looking for

I seek translation and interpretation roles valuing accuracy, reliable deadlines, professional growth, and long-term client relationships.

I am a professional translator and interpreter working primarily in the English–Turkish language pair, committed to on-demand availability, accountability, and long-term business relationships built on trust.

I translate technical documents, manuals, standards, commercial and industrial documentation, personal documents, journals, novels, creative writing, and scientific texts, ensuring that message and nuance are preserved across formats and deadlines.

My background includes formal training in bookkeeping and a BA in English Language and Literature, and I am experienced with CAT tools such as Smartcat, SDL Trados, MemoQ, and Memsource alongside common office and cloud software.

I consistently meet deadlines without compromising quality, and I bring additional experience from retail, hospitality reception, bookkeeping, and accounting roles that strengthen my client-facing, organizational, and financial accuracy skills.
