What I'm looking for

I’m seeking opportunities within international organizations, NGOs and graduate programs focused on global governance and environmental diplomacy.

At Kırıkkale University, I studied international relations and examined the influence of the Stalinist legacy on Russian foreign policy during the Putin era in my thesis.

As a Research Intern at International Institute of SDGs and Public Policy Research (IISPPR), I conducted research on international relations and public policy. I also co-authored research applying network analysis and Louvain community detection to UN General Assembly voting patterns.

At NextGenCOP30.5, I represented the Rainforest and Biodiversity-Rich Nations Bloc in a climate diplomacy simulation and contributed to multilateral negotiations. As a Volunteer Mentor with the Association of Ivorian Students in Türkiye, I guide newly arrived students through university and administrative processes.
