Bio

Since 1998 I have been translating texts in a wide variety of fields, including novels, telecommunication system manuals, esoteric books, medical instruments user guides, patient preparation instructions (pre-op/post-op),  human resources management training booklets, tourist guides and etc.

 Since 2024, I have been working with TransPerfect, supporting translation projects for global brands such as Unilever, Luxottica, Pepsi, Sephora, and Louis Vuitton.


I started translating subtitles (English to Turkish) in 2004. In various international film festivals I worked as a subtitle translator and editor. And now I work for TV platforms' subtitling projects too.

 

I am a graduate of Boğaziçi University English Language and Literature. I got my master's degree on Turkish Language Literature at the same university. For 19 years I taught critical reading and writing and creative writing as a full-time instructor at Istanbul Bilgi University and İstanbul Şehir University. 


Besides these, I work as a script writer and scenario doctor for Turkish series and feature films for Faro Entertainment Company. 


I do have my own scenarios filmed by Arda Yalkın. The Circle Jerk, one of the scripts I have written, was first exhibited in the Barcelona Loop and New York Moving Images, and then
included in Paris FIAC selection. Two Monologs, which I wrote and played, took part in various
exhibitions.
