Summary

With over 6 years of experience in digital marketing across the US, Europe and Turkish markets, I specialize in paid media strategy, social media marketing, and content development. I have successfully managed advertising budgets exceeding $60,000/month across Meta and Google platforms, achieving significant increases in click-through rates and conversions.

My core strength lies in crafting data-driven campaigns that combine measurable performance with human-centric storytelling. From boosting engagement by 3x on social media to optimizing paid search campaigns with ROAS-driven tactics, I deliver strategic marketing outcomes that align with business goals.

I recently completed the Global Business program at the University of Washington, where I sharpened my skills in global business, international marketing, and project management.

I’m passionate about sustainability and effective communication and I aim to help brands scale globally while leaving a positive environmental and social impact.
