Fueled by ambition and a full athletic and academic scholarship, I traded the soccer fields of Europe for the classrooms of Canada's Thompson Rivers University. Business and marketing became my new game, my competitive spirit driving me to excel both on the field and in the lecture hall. This dual focus – strategic thinking and athletic discipline – became my foundation for success.
 

After graduation, I craved hands-on experience. Philadelphia called, and with it, The University of the Arts. Here, I sharpened my creative edge in Communications Design and Social Media Marketing, landing a coveted internship at The Karma Agency - A Material Company. It was here where I learned to translate my ideas into powerful brand experiences.

​

But within me burned an entrepreneurial flame. PhotoBuzz, an innovative experiential marketing product, was born. From concept to sales, I navigated the exhilarating, and sometimes terrifying, world of startups. This venture was my boot camp, teaching me resilience, resourcefulness, and the delicate art of turning bold ideas into reality.

​

This hunger for innovation led me to Stack Creative Agency, a Philadelphia full-service design and advertising agency. As Associate Creative Director, I orchestrated award-winning campaigns, collaborating with diverse teams to push creative boundaries. Simultaneously, I ventured into the freelance realm with Tierney Agency, ChatterBlast Media, and more... managing projects and making digital graphics sing.
 

Throughout my journey, I've had the privilege of working with global giants like Coca-Cola and Visa, gaining insights from every project and expanding my cultural understanding. My American upbringing instilled a pragmatic approach, while my Turkish roots provide a unique perspective on global markets and diverse audiences.
 

Now, I'm ready to unleash my full potential on a new stage. My blend of creativity, marketing savvy, and entrepreneurial spirit is eager to contribute to a company that values innovation and global impact.
