I was quite active in student organizations in my previous university, Koç University in Istanbul. I worked as a secretary for the Cinema Club and the Archeology Club, then making a move for the presidency of the International Student Club. As its president I organized many parties, trips, and orientation-related events for hundreds of international students and exchange students that visited Koç University every year, for two years to be precise. I especially loved my work with that latter club where my skills were best utilized to say the least. I was interested in such opportunities in HSE SPb as well, this time as an actual international student myself but pandemic had something else to say about it!
