About me In a Nutshell

I have had vast experience in language teaching, alternative learning methods, capacity building activities, and continuous professional development in 12 years in not only civil society organizations as project based but also as a teacher trainer and language teacher in different academic organizations. I have had certificates on teacher trainer and drama leader and have been actively involved and had cooperation with either national or international organizations in all over Turkiye and abroad.

My theatre and drama experience have helped me a lot to nurture and design the curriculum/the content of the trainings, also to develop different approaches on advising the target group how to understand and develop their presentation and communication skills. I have also developed myself with trainings and readings on psychology, literature, theatre, drama, culture, language, and philosophy.

I have been residing in the Netherlands for more than 1 year, and I have started to give trainings, seminars, workshops on drama, theatre, acting, communication, presentation skills, learning and development methodologies. I set up my own company in February and had a cooperation with Het Salon where I can carry out my own workshops, trainings, and classes. I have been in cooperation with various stakeholders and partners here in the NL so that I can exchange experience, information, and knowledge so as to set up a bridge between cultures.

I will start to reside in Ankara as of September permanently although I have been coming and going back and forth for a while to my home country these days. You can be rest assured that I can start working full time in September at the latest.
Last but not least, there is no doubt that in the new era, technology and digitalism shape the world but the art that we, as human beings desire to create and find in ourselves, I believe, has always made it easier, more creative, unique, and alive. Therefore, I would be more than happy to
