Bio

My name's Ayla.

I am a highly skilled and experienced full-time translator and proofreader with a strong background translating in marketing, real estate, gambling, legal, finance, and journalism fields. 

I am a proficient simultaneous bilingual dual citizen of the UK and North Cyprus. I was born and raised in the UK and lived there until I was 21 and I now live in Turkish speaking North Cyprus. I attended a school specialising in language learning from the age of 11 until I was 18, where I took advantage of opportunities to live with families in France and Spain in order to perfect my French and Spanish.
