I map heritage, analyze social data, and coordinate community-facing research.
What I'm looking for
I've mapped cultural and natural heritage sites with Casa Desvío Association and used GIS to examine urban archaeology in my MSc dissertation on Ulus, Ankara.
My social research experience includes fieldwork with Cruz Roja Española, human rights data analysis for the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey, and survey design, testing, and analysis at Konda Research.
I've also coordinated cultural-tour operations across multiple countries at Armitour and create clear communications through social media, newsletters, and stakeholder coordination in Turkish, Spanish, and English.
