All About Me
With a decade of international experience living across Moscow, Milan, Tallinn, and Belfast, I bring a uniquely global perspective to educational consulting. My academic foundation, graduating from Bogazici University, Economics and pursuing the UC Irvine Independent Educational Consultancy program, is complemented by years of hands-on experience as an educator specializing in AP Economics, IELTS and personal statement writing workshops. This pedagogical background, combined with a robust career in HR Assessment, allows me to provide elite strategic guidance for students aiming for the world’s top institutions.
By integrating professional assessment methodologies, I look beyond grades to analyze student profiles from a 360-degree perspective. Also, as a mother of two, I bring a deep layer of empathy to this process, understanding firsthand that behind every application is a child’s future and a family’s shared dream. This personal insight ensures that each student's innate potential is scientifically and emotionally aligned with their ideal academic path.
To maintain a truly personalized level of support, I accept a strictly limited number of students each cycle.

Fun Fact 1: On my ninth birthday, my father gifted me the complete Can Yayınları children’s book set. The Paul Street Boys and My Sweet Orange Tree are still on my bookshelf.
Fun Fact 2: Apparently, nine was a defining age for me. After winning a primary school writing award, I gave my first interview to our school newspaper, conducted by Emek, now our Strategic Advisor and my lifelong friend.
