Bio

Born in England in 1965. Currently residing in Izmir. Married to a Turkish national. Worked as a Russian linguist in the British Army towards the end of the Cold War. My Russian is very rusty today.

Studied Turkish at Manchester University and moved to Turkey in 1999. Taught English for a couple of years. Worked for a US news agency from 1999 to 2018 translating mainstream Turkish newspapers, making summary reports, etc. Then worked as an editor for a sister US company editing translations made from other Mid East languages. That job ended in 2021.

Since then, I've been working as a freelance translator. I have a company in my name and I pay tax on my worldwide earnings to the Turkish state. Clients include Referans, Es-Dil, and Avrasya ADH language service providers and their customers. Also Translated, which is based in Rome and the company behind Matecat. Work involves general legal translations, technical translations, industrial machinery and household appliances, MSDS, general medical, insurance, condensed financial statements, articles of association/incorporation, Turkish Trade Registry Gazette entries, employment contracts, leasing agreements, military patents... Also, proofreading translations and transcribing English language videos. Accent is not an issue most of the time.

Aside, currently looking for more permanent work in Britain.
