About
In the beginning...
As a passionate graduate with a BA in English Translation and Interpreting from Izmir University of Economics,
I have specialized in various fields from localization and subtitling to legal and audio-visual translation to build
a strong foundation in both academic and practical aspects of translation. I have also taken four years of
French and two years of Spanish classes during my studies.
I have been working as a freelance translator in different fields, mostly in localization and subtitling sectors.
However, I have been working for individuals in various sectors as well. Thanks to my volunteering
experiences, I both had the chance to improve my translation skills and developed strong leadership and
mentorship abilities.
In terms of technical skills, I am familiar with Microsoft Office and Google Workspace. I am also interested in
computer programming, leading me to learn more about Python and R for further educational purposes. I am
familiar with various CAT Tools such as SDL Trados, MemoQ, Phrase, etc. With an extensive skill set of
translation practices and a proven track record of success, I am well-prepared to contribute to any language
service team!
Skills
During my undergraduate education, I had the chance to specialize in different CAT Tools. That is why I am comfortable with working any tools that I am asked to work with. Also, I have studied 4 years of French and 2 years of Spanish. I was awarded with Mastery in French Presentation and Proficiency in French Translation by Izmir University of Economics. Lastly, my passion in computers and programming lead me to learn different skills as well.
