What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a cultural institution where I can leverage my skills in museum management and event coordination to foster community engagement and promote the arts.

I am a dedicated museum professional with extensive experience in managing museum operations, coordinating exhibitions, and engaging with diverse audiences. As the Museum Director at Doğançay Museum, I successfully managed inventory, accounting, and social media, while also arranging online workshops that fostered community engagement. My role as a preliminary jury member for the 18th Doğançay İstanbul Secondary Schools Painting Competition showcased my commitment to promoting art education and collaboration with local schools.

Previously, I served as a Museum Coordinator at Elgiz Museum, where I was instrumental in the marketing and management of several significant exhibitions. My responsibilities included guiding private tours in both English and Turkish, developing the museum's archive, and organizing educational programs for various age groups. My internship at Bran Castle in Romania further enriched my experience, allowing me to guide tours and assist in event management, enhancing my ability to communicate effectively in multicultural settings.
