What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters intellectual growth and allows me to contribute to meaningful research and literature.

I am a dedicated linguist with a profound passion for literature and a strong commitment to academic research. Since graduating from Hacettepe University, I have immersed myself in the study of bilingualism, language contact, and language acquisition, particularly within immigrant communities. My work reflects my belief that literature is essential for understanding diverse cultures and experiences.

During my tenure as an editor at Gavperspektif, I honed my skills in selecting and editing translations, managing social media content, and overseeing academic publications. My research at the Migration Research Foundation allowed me to explore bilingualism in the Turkish diaspora, culminating in various publications and contributions to significant projects. I thrive in environments that value intellectual curiosity and cultural exchange.
