About me

After studying biology in Bogazici University between the years 1991 and 1994, I took the university exam once more and entered sociology department at the same University and graduated in 1999. While studying I worked as a radio host in the University Radio (Radio Bogazici) After graduation between 1999 and 2001 I did the management of a bar named Orta Kantin in Taksim Beyoglu, between the years 2001 and 2004 I played bass guitar in most of the popular bars in İstanbul, between 2004 and 2006 I worked in a music studio as a recording technician and recorded popular bands and my own compositions. I started making translations after 2006 just before the time I decided to move to south of Turkey. My first translation experience was Valerie Wilmer's "As Serious As Your Life" which is a book that can be evaluated as a sociological research on black music in America. Eventually I started translating economy articles of foreign origin and documentaries from National Geographic, Discovery Channel, History Channel etc... at Sar - An (Company Name) for subtitling and dubbing purposes. I have worked in collaboration with Permaculture Research Instute in Turkey on translation of Bill Mollison's book "Permaculture - A Designer's Manual" from English to Turkish a year ago. And finally I have been working at the international relations department of Universal Hospital in Bodrum for about a year now (patient admission, insurance, translations of medical reports and interpretation). I am working at nights and have plenty of time to do some extra work.
