Summary

I embarked on my aviation career journey in 2016 as a Passenger Service Officer at Istanbul Atatürk Airport. Over the course of three years, I diligently served in this role until 2019, when I temporarily departed due to mandatory military service obligations. Following the completion of my military service during the challenging times of the pandemic, I transitioned to a role as a receptionist for a year.

Eager to return to the aviation industry, I rejoined my former company, this time in the VIP department. After a year of dedicated service, I was presented with an opportunity to take on a supervisory role at a different firm, prompting me to make a transition to a new company.

Throughout my career journey, I've cultivated valuable skills in passenger service, adaptability to changing environments, and leadership. I am committed to leveraging my diverse experiences to contribute effectively to the dynamic field of aviation while continuously seeking growth opportunities to enhance my professional capabilities.
