I have been a freelance (and sometime in-house) translator since 1998. After graduating from Üsküdar American Academy in Istanbul, I proceeded to earn my Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry from Boğaziçi University. After working for 1.5 years in quality control in a pharmaceutical plant (Fako İlaçları A.Ş. Hammadde Fabrikası - Later acquired by Actavis), I became a full-time translator, translating 14 fiction and non-fiction titles (most recently, "En Hızlı Milyar: Afrika'nın Ekonomik Devriminin Ardındaki Hikaye" [The Fastest Billion: The Story Behind Africa’s Economic Revolution] by Charles Robertson, published by the Ankara Chamber of Industry in 2013). In the meantime, I have worked on a large number of translation and localization projects, directly or on behalf of translation companies. Among the parties with whom I have direct contact are various Non Governmental Organizations including the Chamber of Mechanical Engineers, the Mechanical Contractors' Association, the Foundation for Heating, Cooling, and Air Conditioning Research and Education and sundry private sector companies, which references will be offered on request. I am a solution partner for several leading translation agencies in Turkey, catering to the translation and localization needs of many multinational and international companies, on a regular basis.

I am a sworn translator of the 23rd Notary Public of Beşiktaş, and of the 10th Notary Public of Üsküdar.

I have been working with Trados since 1999, of which I am a proficient user.


I take pride in my strict adherence to deadlines, and in submitting correct and culturally sound translations.
