Bio

I am holding a BA degree in political sciences from the FU University in Berlin, Germany, where I mainly worked on philosophical, political and sociological topics. I am Currently doing my masters in Linguistics and Cognitive Studies in Siena, Italy, combining my knowledge about philosophy with new approaches to the studies of language and mind. My native language is German but both English and Spanish have been a part of my life since I am little, hence I feel very comfortable with these languages too. I did a voluntary service in Peru and an internship at the German Embassy in Bolivia and worked at the German Parliament for which I am very familiar with political terminology in Spanish, English and German. I did my BA partly in Istanbul at the Marmara University, for which my Turkish is also fluent. Since spring 2022 I am actively working on my translation skills, constantly trying to broaden my knowledge whilst doing my first projects and jobs. Here on proz.com I want to get in touch with more clients and develop my own network. Please feel free to contact me at any time. 

I am focusing on the Translation/Editing of texts in the following fields:

Literature

Politics/Sociology

Philosophy


My last projects included: 

(Spanish->German) Translation of an Ecuadorian novel 

(Turkish->German) Translation of an incorporation agreement 

(Turkish->English) Editing of book translation
