Bio
I am married, I have a son and a daughter. I have studied German and English at the High School for 7 consecutive years. I have studied Industrial Engineering. I started translating at the University to write summaries of scientific articles.

At the University I have realized that at the scientific level some knowledge of French, Italian and Spanish would be helpful. So I tried to learn French. At an exam for acceptance to a French Translation Lesson I was at the highest level along with other students who have studied French at the High School.

Then I have taken some Italian and Russian lessons.

I worked in a Translation Agency for one year as a full time translator. Then since 2003 I worked as an Industrial Engineer. I have also worked as a part time translator.

Now I work full time as a freelancer since 2015.  I have also accomplished a Spanish course (2nd level) at Cervantes in Istanbul.
