What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a dynamic organization that values social impact and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a committed professional with a strong background in international relations and project management. Currently, I serve as a Project Assistant at UNDP in Ankara, where I support civic engagement initiatives aimed at enhancing democratic local governance. My role involves managing financial operations, facilitating communication among stakeholders, and ensuring the successful execution of project activities.

With a Master's degree from the Middle East Technical University and ongoing PhD studies at Hacettepe University, I have developed a robust analytical skill set. My previous experience includes working with IOM, where I coordinated livelihood projects for refugees and local communities, demonstrating my ability to navigate complex environments and deliver impactful results.

My passion for social issues drives my commitment to fostering inclusive approaches in all my projects. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences to contribute to meaningful initiatives that promote social justice and community development.
