Summary

I am a final-year student of English Translation and Interpreting at Istanbul University, set to graduate in 2025. Over the course of my studies, I have specialized in legal translation. My academic journey has been enriched by Erasmus experiences. Professionally, I have been working as a medical translator at Areti Assistance and Healthcare Solutions since July 2023, where I translate medical reports and assist in cross-border healthcare communication. Additionally, I completed an internship at ES Localization Services, after which I began working there as a freelance translator, gaining experience in a wide range of localization and translation projects.
