Biography

I am currently a third-year undergraduate student in the Tourist Guiding program at Balıkesir University. My studies have given me a deep appreciation for cultural heritage, tourism dynamics, and the importance of multilingual communication in the industry.

As part of my academic journey, I completed my internship in the reservations department of a hotel in Çeşme, where I gained valuable experience in customer service, booking systems, and the day-to-day operations of a tourism business. This experience helped me better understand the practical side of tourism and improved my communication and organizational skills.

Beyond my academic interests, I am passionate about creativity and self-expression. I enjoy graphic design and digital illustration as hobbies, and I love learning new things that challenge and inspire me. Reading and writing are also important parts of my personal life, allowing me to explore new ideas and improve my language skills.

My goal is to combine my academic background, practical experience, and creative interests to build a meaningful career in the tourism sector, where I can guide others, tell stories, and promote cultural understanding through responsible travel.
