Hello
My name is Derin Senkesen, and I’m a Turkish American, IB Diploma student living in Switzerland with a deep passion for history, global politics, and music.
My Story
Growing up in a multilingual household, I learned to embrace different perspectives and cultures, which has shaped who I am today. As I prepare for college, I’m dedicated to refining my understanding of international relations and diplomacy, aiming to make a positive impact on a global scale.

This website shares my journey, from early days immersed in history to volunteering for Ukrainian refugees and developing my confidence through music. Here, you’ll find insights into the experiences that have shaped my goals and passions. I’m excited to continue building on these foundations as I step into college and beyond.
