What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow in a supportive environment while contributing to meaningful legal work.

I am a dedicated law student at Yeditepe University, actively seeking to expand my legal expertise through internships and volunteer opportunities. My recent experience as a summer intern at Bener Law Firm has equipped me with practical skills in legal research and client interaction, enhancing my understanding of the legal landscape.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have held leadership roles, such as Director of Academic Activities at ELSAISTANBUL, where I organized events that fostered legal education among peers. My commitment to community service is evident through my volunteering efforts and participation in various competitions, showcasing my ability to balance academics with extracurricular activities.
