About me
Born between languages.
I grew up at the intersection of languages — born into a family of diplomats, I lived in Washington and Ankara, attended French-speaking schools in Belgium, and studied at the American Vesalius University in Brussels. I don't just speak Turkish, French and English at a high level — I know American, French-speaking Belgian and Turkish life and culture from the inside.
Before becoming a full-time translator and interpreter in 2007, I worked as a journalist for the daily newspaper Milliyet, as a production assistant for Turkish Radio and Television, and as a political adviser at the European Parliament. Every role sharpened my instinct for what a message really means — and what it takes to make it land in another language.
