Multidisciplinary professional committed to diplomacy and global cooperation.
What I'm looking for
I’m Zümrüt Çerçi, a multidisciplinary professional with a strong foundation in international relations and a deep commitment to diplomacy. My journey began with a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, but my passion for global cooperation, social justice, and policy-making has led me to build a dynamic career across international platforms. I have worked with both national and international organizations, taking active roles in European Union projects, United Nations-supported initiatives, and civil society-led diplomatic engagements.
My experience spans across fieldwork and high-level policy processes, allowing me to work at the intersection of global health, migration, youth policy, and sustainable development. I’ve led and contributed to projects that amplify the voices of young people, women, and marginalized communities within decision-making mechanisms, always advocating for inclusive diplomacy. With a commitment to technology, sustainability, and inclusion, I thrive in building bridges and driving forward long-lasting change.
