TurkeyWhat I'm looking for
I’m Ömer Demir, a freelance professional blending translation, education, and content creation with a strong academic curiosity rooted in sociology and the social sciences. I’ve supported research work and communications across multiple cultural and learning environments, from Houston to Istanbul.
Since 2016, I’ve worked as a freelance translator—covering “various articles (academical, and non-academical)”—and I also provide private English tuition for students “from any age category,” including exam preparation. Alongside language work, I’ve been teaching music since 2020, working with “classical/acoustic or electroguitar, piano, keyboards, as well as music theory.”
I bring a content-driven mindset to my professional work. I produce weekly articles on “art history and media culture” for artleove.com and have written “news articles,” including experience in transcription and translation (TR-ENG) for cultural heritage work through the Hrank Dink Foundation.
My background also includes research and people-facing roles: I was a “Research Intern at Rice University” and worked across tourism consultancy, public relations/organization services, call center customer support, and sales. I’m energized by opportunities where cultural communication, learning, and clear execution come together.
