Hi! I’m Merve. I enjoy working on organized, detail-oriented tasks and supporting teams with research, data management, and daily operations.
I have experience with Excel data organization, online research, CMS content updates, and administrative support. I’ve also worked on lead generation tasks, where I identified the right people and built structured contact lists.
I’m currently part of the marketing team of an AI startup, where I contribute to content planning, social media ideas, and market research.
These experiences have strengthened my attention to detail, communication skills, and time management. I’m fluent in English and Turkish and comfortable working with Excel, Google Sheets, CRM systems, Salesforce, HubSpot, SalesNavigator, LinkedIn and basic CMS platforms.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, quick to learn and easy to work with, I’d be happy to support your project.
