Melisa Soysal
@melisasoysal
Multilingual translator and interpreter who delivers precise Turkish–English–Hungarian legal communication and culturally aware content.
What I'm looking for
I grew up in a bilingual and bicultural environment, and I built my academic foundation with law before focusing my studies on English Translation and Interpreting. That combination shapes how I handle complex messages with clarity, accuracy, and context.
I bring hands-on experience in translation, interpreting, and content writing through freelance and institutional work. In my recent role, I provided Turkish–English–Hungarian translation and interpretation for legal and administrative matters, maintained professional communication with clients and official authorities, and supported document translation for court proceedings and submissions.
I’m also skilled in managing digital platforms and producing culturally appropriate content, including localization and multilingual marketing materials. I’m highly motivated to develop my career in multilingual communication—bringing precision, confidentiality, and dependable coordination to every engagement.
