Mehmet Sinan Birdal

I am a policy analyst who has solid academic and media experience. I want to switch to a new career where my ideas can have more real-time effects. I have expertise in international relations, human rights and political economy as well as community-organizing and civil society activism. My main strength: I am a fast learner and can wrap my head around new issues and fields of study swiftly. My main weakness: I thrive on a stable and cooperative working environments. Unstable and combative environments pose major disruption on my concentration and motivation. I am working on motivating myself under any circumstances by practicing mindfulness and physical workout as well as hobbies. Ideal workplace for me provides harmonious teamwork which allows me to be creative. I am a big lover of music, literature, plastic arts as well as dancing. I read a lot and work out regularly. My hobbies clear my mind and inspire me.
