Native English speaker and Turkish language expert

I am a qualified professional in the field of Turkish translation and interpreting. My native language is English. I am a British national and since 2004 have served global language markets from my base in Limassol, in the south of Cyprus. My experience in the translation business stretches back to 1996.

In line with widely accepted practice, I only undertake written translation work into my native language of English. I specialise in financial and legal texts. I am always happy to consider assignments of a general nature. I do NOT subcontract work assigned to me. However, I am able to call on the services of reliable colleagues if your project calls for translation in both directions or involves other areas of specialisation.

As the following statistics showing the number of imprisoned journalists in Turkey on various dates demonstrate:

a stranglehold is being placed on press freedom in Turkey. As such, I find it increasingly difficult to continue with this feature.
