Summary

A passionate and dedicated student of International Relations at Koç University and Political Science at Université libre de Bruxelles with a strong background in history, political history and political philosophy. My academic journey, enriched by my deep interest in world politics and diplomacy, was furthered by my active participation in the International Relations Club and the Casus Diplomacy platform. I developed my writing skills by writing articles on the politics and history of the Caucasus region and also attended diplomacy seminars to gain different perspectives. In addition, I hold various administrative positions at the International Relations and Science Research Public Union and carry out projects and research studies on international relations. As a board member of the International Relations Club at Koç University, I am committed to applying theoretical knowledge in practical settings, encouraging student participation in diplomacy and continuously improving my understanding of global political dynamics.

Affiliations

As a history enthusiast, I enjoy collecting museum postcards from various cities. During my semester in Europe, I gathered over fifty postcards from cities such as Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Prague. Beyond this collection, I dedicate much of my free time to reading philosophy, political theory, geopolitics, and literature. Since high school, I have actively nurtured my creativity through writing short stories, scenarios, and conceptual texts, which has continually expanded the scope of my intellectual curiosity and expression.
