Summary

I am a self-publisher, blogger, and traveler. I have worked in our family yacht rental company in Turkey for 4 years and helped with bookings, schedules, and the arrival of customers from throughout Europe. I helped with the advertising on our company's website to reach the international market.


I have been traveling since I was 14 years old. I traveled extensively around Europe and spent a year in Australia. I was awarded 4 years scholarship from one of the few Fine Arts High schools in Istanbul and studied Creative Writing and Film. I graduated from high school with honors. I work and study hard. I was an international student at Kaplan Language School and took classes at Salt Lake Community College. I haven't got my degree yet but I want to continue my study and get my degree with a 4 GPA.


I helped with the advertising on our company's website to reach the international market. I have worked with many Student Advisors in Europe, America, and Australia. After being an international student for over 5 years, I feel like I have a good understanding of the process that students have to go through. A student advisor is my goal. I am good at paperwork process, data entry, building schedules, and multi-tasking.


As a self-publisher, I have a good understanding of the way social media work. I can create unique content without any grammatical errors or plagiarism. I write about almost every topic, like business, health, technology, food, cooking, travel, fashion, sports, and much more. I can write in

different styles and tones, in English, Turkish, and sometimes French.
