Journalist
Calgary Journal
As a journalist, I’m drawn to stories that explore the relationships between art, culture, science, and community, examining how knowledge and creativity inform one another.Through my work with the Calgary Journal, I’ve explored how storytelling can translate research, emotion, and lived experience into accessible narratives. In my Calgary Journal archives is a link to my published articles.
Podcasting
ROOTS explores the 2024 Sustainability Forum at Mount Royal University, where journalism students spoke with event organizers, speakers, and attendees about integrating sustainability across disciplines. With support from the Community Podcast Initiative, I co-hosted and produced my segment, featuring an interview with the Vice-Dean of Business and Communication Studies on sustainability at MRU.
Video Production
Over the past few years, I’ve developed a strong skill set in producing short-form video stories for social media—translating research and reporting into engaging visual narratives. I’ve learned to write concise, impactful scripts and edit for rhythm, sound, and caption design to make information accessible to diverse audiences.
Graphic Design
In fall 2024, I discovered my love for design theory through my Digital Visualization course. Weekly design labs became a space for thoughtful experimentation and greater understanding of typography, composition, colour and balance, as a language shaped by effective and nuanced storytelling.
About Me
Hi, I'm Mimi Ozturk, and I study Journalism and Digital Media student at Mount Royal University. My work is inspired by communication and design theory, media literacy— along with the cultural and artistic histories that shape societies. Though, naturally quiet, I am endlessly curious about the seen and unseen connections that create our realities, the mysteries of our cosmos, the evolution of music, language, nature. And, the people and patterns that define our natural world.
