Native speaker of British English.
Linguist by academic training: MA (hons) in Linguistics from the University of Edinburgh
Exceptionally good knowledge of Turkish language and culture: Resident in Turkey from 1987-1999, living for much of the time as a fully integrated member of local society. Hands-on experience of the Turkish business and financial world. Real grasp of the language on an idiomatic level that can only come from lengthy first-hand experience.
Good general knowledge and writing style: Good knowledge of business, finance, politics, social sciences. Above all, ability to write. End results that read like genuine English copy.
Qualified and certified Turkish translator: Holder of prestigious qualifications from the Institute of Linguists, which have official status in the UK.
Following a two-year absence from the profession when I was teaching English at Qatar Aeronautical College, I settled in Limassol, Cyprus in the summer of 2004. Since then I have been working as a full-time freelance translator. I have re-established contacts with many old clients and tapped into important new sources of work. My goal is always to provide accurate translations into natural-sounding English. I am very comfortable with texts of a general, business, financial and legal nature. I have never missed a translation deadline in my life. I look forward to hearing from you and I am always happy to receive inquiries.
