Leyla Barokas

I took part in organizing parties, cultural visits, and other social events for exchange student in our university. I tailored event themes to align with organizational goals. I oversaw setup and breakdown of event spaces, ensuring venues were left in excellent condition. I prepared and presented comprehensive event summaries to provide highlights and developments. I maintained clear communication channels between all parties involved in the event planning process, ensuring timely updates and issue resolution. I participated in team meetings and staff training sessions.

I welcomed dancers and guests to our dance school, answering any questions about the classes and the schedule. I handled incoming telephone calls, answered emails, informed the customers about prices, instructors, dance styles, and our location. I used Excel to track information and update the schedule. I also helped non-Turkish speaking dancers to catch up with the classes and translated the important points to them.

I worked in Istanbul Jewelry Show 2022 as a visitor guide and a Turkish-English translator for Takat SR, an Indian jewelry company. I utilized active listening skills and cultural sensitivity to convey accurate interpretations. I collaborated with other tour guides to provide comprehensive and enjoyable experiences. I developed engaging and informative scripts, guiding tour members through attractions. I reviewed, edited and proofread translated documents for accuracy. I interpreted conversations simultaneously to help both parties conduct business and manage personal concerns.

I maintained organised and updated file systems for easy staff use. I handled phone calls and responded to emails on behalf of the staff. During my internship, I also observed the special education system designed for kids with autism, and contributed to the curriculum.
