I have studied management for 6 years including bachelors and then MBA (Master in Business Administration). I decided while studying to chase a career that I could be able to deal with new challenges as this fits with my ambitious personality, where I can combine my skills and interest in business, problem solving and working with people effectively.I have performed at TRT -is Turkish number 1 TV in Turkey- for 5 years. I have also performed at the musical theatre and sang at Turkish festivals sometimes in front of 20.000 people. I play drums, piano. Also I play guitar. I compose my songs as well as writing lyrics. Although, I am an MBA graduate; during my studies I have improved my leadership, communication, as well as problem solving skills. Studying bachelors in performing arts enhanced my creative problem solving and thinking skills to look at and finding solutions to the problems in different ways. I believe that studying a variety of subjects has helped me to improve and develop my skills and experiences in a variety of areas. To be a musician and knowing the management side of the industry will be my future career progression to be a manager as well as a performer in this sector.QUALIFICATIONS/ EDUCATION: 2006-2007 BA (Hons) Performing Arts (Music and Drama) at Sunderland University 2005-2006 MBA (Master in Business Administration) at Northumbria University Modules include: International Human Resources Management, Analysing and Developing Self, Managing for Competitive Advantage, Strategic Challenges, Business Information Systems and Data Analysis, Analysing Organisations, International Marketing Management, Strategic Investment Decisions, Leading Strategic Change, Current Issues. - Gained an understanding of current management theory and practice through formal lectures, workshops and case studies.
