@zainalafranji
Sales representative and translator who strengthens client relationships through clear communication and organized, problem-solving execution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Sales Representative with experience across multiple projects in Istanbul, working in marketing and sales while building relationships with interested customers and managing follow-ups and appointment confirmations. I also bring event-facing experience as a hostess and translator for English, Arabic, and Turkish, where I helped organize schedules for international participants.
Alongside my commercial work, I’ve built a strong communications foundation through journalism, press, public relations, creative writing, and training for integrity and investigative reporting. I’m motivated by improvement—especially presenting and communication—and I bring organizational discipline, time management, and emotional intelligence to deliver reliable results under pressure.
