At Canva, I worked as both an SEO Content Specialist and later as an SEO Lead, managing end-to-end localization and SEO processes for the Turkish market. I created and optimized content, conducted keyword and market research, and localized pages to match user intent and cultural nuances. As a Lead, I built scalable systems, led large-scale projects (1000+ pages), collaborated with cross-functional teams, and ensured high-quality, performance-driven localization at scale.

Attorney at Law

Uler Dimici Law Firm • Full-time

Sep 2013 - Dec 2016 • 3 yrs 3 mos

I worked as a lawyer with a focus on corporate, energy, and real estate law, and had the opportunity to work with international clients. I was involved in drafting, reviewing, and translating legal documents, including contracts and corporate materials, between English and Turkish. Through this experience, I developed a strong understanding of legal terminology and the importance of accuracy, clarity, and consistency in translation. I also conducted legal research, supported due diligence processes, and worked on company formations and restructuring. This background strengthened my ability to handle English–Turkish legal translations with precision and confidence.
