About

With a degree in Tourism Management from Eskişehir Osmangazi University, I have developed a robust career in the hospitality and events industry. My recent role as a Groups and Events Sales Executive at San Clemente Palace Kempinski Venice involved managing group and event sales, ensuring client satisfaction, and meeting sales targets. Prior to this, I served as a Planner at Bond Events, where I coordinated successful events. At Swissôtel The Bosphorus, Istanbul, I held multiple positions, including BC Sales Supervisor and Spa & Fitness Sales Supervisor, where I was instrumental in driving revenue growth and enhancing customer engagement. My diverse experience in sales and event planning has equipped me with the skills to excel in dynamic environments and deliver exceptional results.
