I am a student at İstanbul Yeni Yüzyıl University, Türkiye. Since I was little I have been fascinated by the translation and interpretation studies. Learning English at the age of 12 in middle school, I've studied in the Foreign Languages department in high school, learning further English. After high school I applied to the English Translation and Interpreting department of my current university, passing the exam of the preparatory year. I am currently a second year, taking my English to the next level, learning how to be more academic while I use my knowledge. I am currently learning Japanese in addition to Spanish. In my second year of high school, I have applied to a volunteering program known as "Ask Me", was organized by the Fatih Municipality of İstanbul, learning how to help tourists in need, translating and interpreting for them, socializing, and learning how to handle group work and solving problems for the tourists besides making their tourism experience better.

I’m passionate about translating inspiring ideas to make them accessible across languages, bridging cultures, and fostering understanding through clear and meaningful communication.

I believe that every language carries a unique worldview, and translation is the bridge that allows us to share them with others who need it most.

I am a translation student passionate about making inspiring ideas accessible to a wider audience. Joining TED Translators allows me to bridge cultures and share knowledge through languages.

People don’t know I’m good at making complex ideas easy to understand across languages.
