SETA Istanbul

I was responsible for conducting in-depth research on the latest news and updates from the Middle East region. Using my analytical skills, I wrote compelling news articles that highlighted the most important information in a clear and concise manner. Additionally, with the help of my coordinator, I contributed to the academic research by writing and publishing a paper on the Camp David Accords.

In addition to my research responsibilities, I was also responsible for several translation work (articles, data, & web prints), as well as content-writing and proof reading.
