What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a content or social media role where I can create platform-native video, use audience and performance insights to improve strategy, and contribute to culturally relevant campaigns.

I create and optimize short-form content for TikTok and Instagram, generating 13.8M+ organic TikTok views within 12 months and growing my account to 7.7K+ followers.

At Nearay, I produced platform-native videos, managed cross-platform content calendars, and used performance data to improve publishing schedules and engagement. I handle trend research, ideation, scripting, filming, editing, and publishing.

My background also includes content analysis, editorial writing, research, campaign materials, and community-event promotion across organizations in Berlin and Istanbul.
