I am a senior media professional from Turkey who has worked as an anchor, editor, columnist, journalist and executive across multiple platforms: television, radio, online, newspapers and magazines in print. The media companies I worked for include Turkey's leading news TV channels CNN Turk and NTV as well as BBC World Service in London. I also lectured at Bilgi University in Istanbul for one year where I engaged in developing courses. During my career, I have also provided On-Air English-Turkish simultaneous interpretations and translated articles and edited books.
