PROFILE SUMMARY
Energetic, outgoing, and people-oriented professional with over 15 years of experience across education, hospitality, and client-facing roles in diverse, multicultural environments. I bring a strong foundation in business, combined with proven strengths in communication, leadership, and problem-solving. Having taught English to students of all ages in Istanbul, Turkey, and currently working in service and hospitality in the U.S., I thrive in fast-paced, team-driven environments where adaptability, positivity, and strong interpersonal skills are key.
As an extrovert, I’m known for being friendly, patient, and upbeat—someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with others, supporting teams, and creating positive experiences for both colleagues and customers. I’m also teachable, coachable, and eager to learn and grow. I approach every opportunity with an open mind and a calm, solutions-focused attitude.
While my resume highlights my background in education and service, it doesn’t fully reflect my solid business foundation—shaped through years of involvement in my family’s enterprise and various entrepreneurial side hustles that have sharpened my instincts in operations, sales, and customer engagement. I’m now exploring new opportunities where I can continue growing while bringing my energy, cultural fluency, and strong service mindset to roles in hospitality, sales, customer relations, business operations, or other dynamic fields.
