About me
The direction of my life changed by entering Darüşşafaka thanks to the vision and support of my primary school teacher and school principal. I have personally experienced the transformative impact of education and teaching in changing the fate of a disadvantaged girl. That's why I put education and civil society at the center of my life career.
After Darüşşafaka High School, I graduated from Marmara University English Language Teaching Department in 1998. In addition to my duties as English Teacher and Head of Foreign Languages Department at two leading private schools in Turkey for 11 years, I served as a consultant to Model United Nations (MUN) and Junior Model United Nations (JMUN) teams.
Thanks to the vision and support of her teacher and school principal, I have experienced the transformative impact of education on a girl's life and therefore took the path of education and teacher development in my life career.
In 2019, I was nominated for the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) of the US Department of State and became the only person from Turkey to participate in the "Leadership in the Digital Age" program.
Having completed my MBA at Koç University in 2021, I also serve voluntarily as a member of the TÜSİAD Education Study Group, the TEGEP Board of Directors and the Advisory Board of the Corporate Social Responsibility Association of Turkey.
I have been working as the Acting General Manager as of February 2022, after serving as the Education Director at the Teachers Academy Foundation for the last 7 years.
