What I'm looking for

I seek roles that leverage my sworn and media translation skills, offer collaborative teams, clear quality standards, and opportunities to grow in localization, subtitling, and translation project coordination.

I am a professional translator with a degree in Translation and Interpretation and hands-on experience across sworn translation, subtitling, and bilingual customer support for international clients. I deliver accurate, legally compliant translations and synchronize subtitles for educational media under tight deadlines.

My work history includes sworn translation for official documents, subtitling and proofreading at Near East University, and language support and administrative duties in hospitality, where I combined client-facing communication with precise administrative execution.

I work effectively both independently and in teams, with strengths in deadline management, quality control, terminology management, and using CAT and subtitling tools to produce polished, reliable work for legal, medical, technical, literary, and media projects.
