Burcu Karaca is a park designer who helps design water parks around the world. She develops a park’s theme and programming, creates master plans, designs park facilities and slide paths, implements safety standards, and analyzes the landscape and architectural elements. She creates the guest’s journey and experience at the water park, from the moment you drive into the parking lot through to the end when you leave happy, tan, and tired!Burcu's two degrees (Bachelor of Landscape Architecture and Bachelor of Architecture ) and incredible experience have led her from her hometown of Istanbul, Turkey to France and now to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. She works with people around the world, including her colleagues at WhiteWater, which is based in Canada. Some of the projects she's worked on include Vinpearl Land Nha Trang in Vietnam, Beach Park in Brazil, and Waterworld in the UK. One of Burcu's favorite parts of her job is getting to go to the places she's helped design and seeing adults and kids participate and enjoy all the park has to offer.Resources:Water Parks MENA (Middle East North Africa)International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA)Themed Entertainment AssociationWorld Waterpark AssocationWorld Waterpark MagazineInPark MagazineContact Info:Burcu Karaca - GuestBurcu's LinkedIn ProfileJulie Berman - Hostwww.womenwithcooljobs.com@womencooljobs (Instagram)Send Julie a text!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers.
