Summary
I bring a diverse twelve-year background in CSR and environmental communications, advocacy campaigning, media management, and strategic planning. In 2024, I took a personal year off between Montreal and Istanbul, dedicating my time to tutoring, freelancing, learning a new language, and personal self-development. Now, I am opening the door to meaningful projects as a freelancer and/or consultant, leveraging my experience to drive impactful change.
