My strengths as an interpreter

For me, the most important aspect of interpreting is providing a careful and complete rendering of what is being said. I believe it is important that every sentence, every word, and every nuance be conveyed as accurately as possible, without omitting, adding, or filling in any information on my own. As an interpreter, I serve as the bridge between people, cultures, and systems, ensuring that both parties can understand each other as well as possible. Integrity, neutrality, and reliability are, for me, a given. As an interpreter, I regularly handle personal or confidential information. I handle this with care and discretion and am fully aware of the responsibility that comes with the profession. I have an excellent command of both languages and a clear, easily understandable voice. I work accurately and punctually, can adapt quickly, and remain calm and professional even in varied or unexpected situations. I regularly receive compliments on my clear, calm, and carefully articulated interpreting style. In addition, I speak Standard Dutch without an accent, which ensures clear and easily understandable communication. My strength lies in accurately, completely, and impartially conveying what is said, while respecting every conversation partner.

About my interpreting experience

I have been working as a certified C1 interpreter since July 2023 and am versatile across various sectors. As an all-around interpreter, I have experience in areas such as legal and notarial practice, the legal profession, mediation, separation and divorce cases, healthcare, psychiatry and mental health care, youth care, and child protection. In addition, I provide interpreting services for various government agencies, including the CBR, the IND, the police, the COA, and the Legal Aid Board. I am also available to work in hospitals, including during medical examinations and consultations, as well as in assessments involving children with conditions such as a language development disorder (TOS). My 22 years of experience as a teacher in various educational settings is a valuable asset to my work as an interpreter. This has accustomed me to working with diverse audiences and adapting quickly and carefully to different situations. In June 2024, I also had the opportunity to interpret at a major Turkish festival featuring renowned artists from Turkey. Thanks to my broad experience, I am flexible and versatile, always guided by the following core principles: accuracy, neutrality, integrity, confidentiality, and respect.

About me (place of birth, native language, other details)

Having grown up between two cultures, two languages, and two worlds, I feel a strong connection to both the Netherlands and Turkey. Born and raised in the eastern part of the Netherlands, with Turkish roots through my parents, I’ve been immersed in both cultures from a young age. Turkey holds a special place in my heart, and I love to travel there. The country’s rich culture, stunning nature, hospitality, and diversity appeal to me time and time again. And, of course, I thoroughly enjoy the delicious and diverse Turkish cuisine. My background has given me a natural connection to the Turkish language and culture. At the same time, my life in the Netherlands has shaped me and brought these two worlds together. It is precisely this combination that has strengthened my love for language and communication. Ultimately, it also played a significant role in my decision to become an interpreter. For me, this profession beautifully and naturally brings together language, culture, and the act of connecting people.
