What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic work environment that fosters growth and collaboration.

I am a dedicated and curious individual, born in 2000 in Istanbul, with a passion for international relations. My educational journey has been marked by a commitment to learning and growth, leading me to pursue a degree in International Relations at Mehmet Akif Ersoy University. I have actively sought opportunities to enhance my knowledge, including obtaining a certificate from the Israel and Judaism Workshop at Ankara Thought Workshop.

Throughout my academic career, I have written seven articles on various topics related to my field and participated in numerous seminars to broaden my understanding of current events and national issues. My internship experiences at VakıfBank and Küçükçekmece Municipality have allowed me to develop teamwork and organizational skills, as well as gain practical insights into the banking sector and public administration. I believe that my ability to work collaboratively and my proactive approach will enable me to contribute effectively to any organization.
