Message

At GLOBAL ACADEMY FOR FUTURE GOVERNANCE (GAFG), I represent the organization at global forums and manage UN ground pass logistics and inter-agency initiatives. I also engage sponsors, grant makers, media outlets, and community leaders around maritime initiatives.

At SERVE THE CITY PARIS, I coordinated CSR, fundraising, and community events for 50–200 participants, partnering with companies including Amazon, Rothschild & Co, and Goldman Sachs. I recruited and managed volunteers and oversaw event budgets, logistics, and reporting.

For NEW DAWN FADES, I supported production and festival coordination across an international feature film co-production involving five countries. My work included scheduling, travel, logistics, documentation, and Turkish-English translation support.

At SCRATCH CINEMA, I co-founded and edited a global independent film magazine, negotiated media partnerships that increased readership by 40%, and managed an editorial team of contributors. I’ve also advised students on education and scholarships abroad and coordinated seasonal festival operations at VOLT.
