Yağmur Aykol

Job-seeker, Writer/Editor

Passionate about translation with great writing skills and a background in literature, editing, and communication. Dedicated to bringing stories to life through translation and editorial work. Enthusiastic about customer relations to contribute creativity and precision. I’m passionate about the power of words to inspire change, and about using translation to ensure ideas reach as many people as possible.

I’m passionate about connecting people through language, helping ideas travel across borders, and making learning accessible to everyone. Reading, storytelling, and translating those stories into different languages so that anyone, anywhere, can enjoy and learn from them. I’m passionate about exploring cultures and perspectives through language, and using my skills to bring important ideas to a global audience.

Hello! I'm Yağmur Aykol, a graduate of English Language and Literature. Pursuing a career in translation is a dream come true for me. I'd really love to work as a freelance or remote translator (English-Turkish/Turkish-English) at a prestigious company like yours, if the opportunity arises. Since I want to build my career in this direction, gaining experience is my top priority. My previous experience includes working as an intern editor for literary articles at the University of Warsaw. While creating fan fiction content on Wattpad, I also translated from English to Turkish on the same platform. Therefore, I believe I can contribute to you with my translation and editing skills. It would be a great pleasure to take my first steps on this journey with you. Thank you very much in advance for your interest. Best regards. aykolyagmur8@gmail.com

I learned about the TED Translators program while researching opportunities to combine my passion for languages with meaningful work. I was inspired by how the program enables volunteers to make knowledge and ideas accessible across cultures. I specifically found the website on LinkedIn.

People don’t know I’m good at spotting subtle language nuances and cultural references, which helps me convey meaning accurately when translating or subtitling.
