As an independent songwriter, I create original songs by developing concepts, lyrics, melodies, chord progressions, and overall song structures from the initial idea through to a complete composition. I work across different genres and styles, adapting my approach according to the mood, narrative, and emotional direction of each song. My songwriting process combines lyrical storytelling with melody and harmony to create cohesive and emotionally engaging compositions. I am experienced in developing verses, pre-choruses, choruses, bridges, and vocal melodies, while considering rhythm, phrasing, dynamics, and overall musical progression. I also explore different approaches to songwriting, including starting from a lyrical concept, a melody, a chord progression, or a specific emotional atmosphere. This flexibility allows me to experiment with different creative directions and develop songs that have a distinct identity. Through songwriting, I have strengthened my creative thinking, storytelling, musicality, attention to detail, and ability to turn abstract ideas and emotions into structured, communicable pieces of music.

Private English Tutor

Self Employed • Indépendant

Jun 2019 - Present • 7 yrs 2 mos

As a private English tutor, I have worked with students from different age groups and proficiency levels, providing personalized English instruction tailored to their individual goals, learning styles, and needs. My experience includes helping students improve their speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and overall communication skills. I have developed and adapted lesson plans, learning materials, and activities to make lessons engaging, practical, and relevant to each student. I focus particularly on building students’ confidence in using English in real-life situations rather than relying solely on traditional grammar-based instruction. Working one-on-one with students has strengthened my ability to identify learning difficulties, adjust teaching strategies, provide constructive feedback, and motivate students throughout their learning journey. It has also taught me to communicate complex concepts clearly and patiently while creating a supportive and comfortable learning environment. Through this experience, I have developed strong interpersonal, communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to work effectively with learners from diverse backgrounds and adapt quickly to different educational needs.

Garanti BBVA • Temps plein

Oct 2020 - Dec 2025 • 5 yrs 2 mos

During my time at Garanti BBVA, I worked directly with a diverse portfolio of high-value, private, investment, and expatriate clients, providing personalized banking solutions and managing their day-to-day financial needs. My role required strong communication skills, attention to detail, confidentiality, and the ability to understand each client’s financial goals and provide appropriate solutions. I gained hands-on experience in client relationship management, investment and banking products, financial operations, problem solving, and cross-functional coordination. I regularly handled complex client requests, resolved issues efficiently, and acted as a trusted point of contact between clients and different departments within the bank. Working with both Turkish and international clients also strengthened my professional English communication skills and my ability to work effectively with people from different cultural and professional backgrounds. One of my key strengths developed during this experience was the ability to build long-term client relationships based on trust, responsiveness, and personalized service. I learned to work confidently in a fast-paced, highly regulated financial environment while maintaining a strong focus on accuracy, client satisfaction, and professional standards.
