Summary

While studying Journalism at Marmara University, I also did a double major with the Radio TV Cinema department. After my undergraduate education, I completed my master's degree with a thesis at the Social Sciences Institute of the same university, Department of Informatics, Journalism.
The reason why I did a double major with Radio, TV, Cinema while studying journalism was to develop myself in television journalism and produce documentary-style in-depth content.
Then, due to the rapidly advancing flow between social media and video journalism, I did my master's degree in Informatics in order to get to know digital media closely.
During my education period, my shift in television news centers started. Being in the newsroom gave me important experiences and networking. Afterwards, I worked as a journalist in IMC TV, Bianet (freelance), Medyascope, BBC Turkish, Artı TV - Artı Gerçek, respectively, without ever getting away from the media. My career, which started as an editor, continued as a reporter. I prepared and presented some television programs.
At the end of 2019, I had a transition from journalism to corporate communication due to the structural problems I saw in the media. I worked as the Turkey Media Coordinator of Amnesty International, the world's largest human rights institution based in London.
Within the scope of this duty, while my international press and non-governmental network was developing, I held success panels and press conferences. My positive contributions to the media visibility and reflection of the institution were often appreciated by the institution.

Marmara Üniversitesi Gazetecilik bölümünü okurken aynı zamanda Radyo TV Sinema bölümü ile çift anadal yaptım. Lisans eğitimim sonrasında Yüksek lisansımı da aynı üniversitenin Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü’nde Gazetecilik Dalı Bilişim Bölümü’nde tezli olarak tamamladım.

Gazetecilik okurken Radyo, TV, Sinema bölümüyle çift ana dal yapma sebebim, televizyon haberciliğinde kendimi geliştirip, belgesel tarzı derinlikli içerikler üretebilmekti.

Ardından sosyal medya ve video habercilik arasında hızla ilerleyen akış nedeniyle dijital mecraları yakından tanımak için Bilişim bölümünde yüksek lisans yaptım.

Eğitim sürecinde televizyon haber merkezlerindeki mesaim başlamıştı. Bu bana haberciliğe dair mutfaktan vizyon ve deneyim katarken basın noktasında networkümün ilk taşlarını ördü. Sonrasında medyadan hiç uzaklaşmadan sırasıyla IMC TV, Bianet (dışardan freelance işler), Medyascope, BBC Türkçe, Artı TV – Artı Gerçek mecralarında habercilik yaptım. Editörlükle başlayan kariyerim muhabirlikle devam etti. Bazı televizyon programlarını hazırlayıp sundum.

2019 sonunda medyada gördüğüm yapısal sorunlar nedeniyle gazetecilikten kurumsal iletişime bir geçiş yaşadım. Londra merkezli dünyanın en büyük insan hakları kurumu Uluslararası Af Örgütü’nün Türkiye Medya Koordinatörü olarak görev aldım.

Bu görevim kapsamında uluslararası basın ve sivil toplum networküm gelişirken, başarı paneller ve basın toplantılarına imza attım. Kurumun medya görünürlüğü ve yansımalarına olumlu katkılarım kurum tarafından sıklıkla takdir edildi.
