What I'm looking for

I seek a customer-facing sales role at a collaborative company where I can use communication, bilingual skills, and events experience to grow sales and build lasting client relationships.

I am a sales counsellor with hands-on experience driving visitor engagement and on-site sales at major fairs, including multiple Izmir Book Fair appearances and the Izmir Marble Fair. I deliver tailored product recommendations, organize demonstrations, and facilitate stakeholder communications to improve conversion and satisfaction.

My background includes administrative internship experience at a district governor's office, where I developed organization, documentation, and public-service operational discipline. I am bilingual in Turkish and English and have supported international exhibitor negotiations through translation and bilingual customer service.

I volunteer with child-support and animal-rights organizations, contributing to process improvements and streamlined onboarding using digital tools. I seek roles where I can leverage communication, problem-solving, and customer-relations strengths to grow sales and enhance customer experiences.
