LARA DİLA HAYDA

Since the first year, I joined the Interact club at the high school, and this year, I am leading the committee that manages internal communication. Our club has participated in numerous forums to raise public awareness about certain current issues. With my team, I sold necklaces, cakes, and all the money we raised was redistributed to the needy. This experience has strengthened my skills in intercultural communication and in managing charitable projects.

Last summer, I interned at 'Madame Coco,' a high-quality Turkish home linen brand. I worked with the people in charge of media relations, discovered customer relationship techniques, inventory management, the basics of marketing, and communication on social media. Analyzing the results of the advertisements, working with the team to launch the brand on TikTok, and tracking the progress of the pop-ups in various countries have been part of my activities. I have developed my creativity, my aesthetic sense, my analytical finesse, and I was particularly touched by the brand's sensitivity towards women.

The cause of animal welfare touches me deeply, and I wanted to dedicate some of my time to caring for dogs by going to the animal shelter. Deux fois par mois, je les nourris, leur donne à boire, les brosse, les promène, et j'aide le personnel dans ses activités quotidiennes. Seeing a dog finally adopted by a family fills me with joy and pride.

I have been horseback riding for 10 years in a club, and I have won numerous competitions in Turkey and the Netherlands: I was the champion of Turkey in dressage at 12 years old. I participated in summer camps during which I supervised groups of children: I taught them how to take care of horses, to tame them, and of course, to ride them. Passionate about horseback riding, I am eager to share my knowledge of the world of horses and to lead sessions with those younger than me.
