What I'm looking for

I seek entry-level legal roles or internships in collaborative, international environments where I can apply legal skills, interpreting ability, and grow in mediation and human-rights work.

I am a recent Bachelor of Law graduate from Kocaeli University with hands-on experience through national and international internships, including an Erasmus+ placement in Germany.

My practical experience spans law offices in Safranbolu and a German Rechtsanwaltskanzlei, and I worked as an interpreter at Automechanika trade fairs in Frankfurt and Istanbul, which strengthened my language and cross-cultural collaboration skills.

I bring advanced English, intermediate German, strong persuasion and problem-solving abilities, and active participation in Model United Nations simulations where I represented countries and mediated international issues.
