What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities in the tourism and hospitality industry where I can gain practical experience, contribute to real-world work, and continue developing my professional skills.

At Yachting Travel Agency, I assisted with day-to-day operations and supported the planning and coordination of boat tours in Fethiye, Muğla.

I also communicated with local and international visitors, sharing information about destinations, attractions, and tour activities. I supported customer service, tour arrangements, and operational coordination.

I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Tourism Management at Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation, with an expected graduation in March 2029. My studies cover tourism operations, hospitality, marketing, customer service, and destination management.

Since March 2025, I've been gaining experience as a Student Intern while developing my knowledge through academic studies and projects. I'm interested in practical experience in the tourism and hospitality industry.
