Summary
- During my education at Kırıkkale University, I actively engaged in research by completing a TÜBİTAK- funded project about the impact of the corpus - a digital dictionary enhanced by AI - on literary translations. Additionally, I participated in the Erasmus program, spending six months in Poland studying linguistics and translation. During my time abroad, I successfully completed all courses, further enriching my academic and cultural experience. I participated in the Theatre Community and Foreign Languages Community. I am dedicated to continuous professional development, constantly developing new skills and knowledge to enhance my expertise in the field.
