Education History

To talk a little about my educational background, I completed my undergraduate degree in psychology at Connecticut College in the United States. Then, I worked for a year as a research assistant for an education NGO in New York City and on a research project at Columbia University. I completed my master's degree at Columbia University, Teachers College.

 

In 2014, I started working as a research assistant at Güzel Günler Clinic, with Dr. Yankı Yazgan in Istanbul, Turkey and continued my work as a clinical psychologist at the same clinic until 2019. To gain direct experience in the education system, I started working as a school psychologist in TED Istanbul Koleji for 3 years. During this process, I managed the cases of students with different developmental and neurodevelopmental difficulties. Directing inclusion and IEP's of students were also among my responsibilities. Since 2022, I continue to support children and adolescents in private clinics in Istanbul.
