What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to multidisciplinary psychology, cognitive science, or neuropsychology research through experimental design, data analysis, and research development while continuing to grow in academic and clinical settings.

I'm pursuing an M.Sc. in Mind and Brain at Humboldt University of Berlin while building research experience across cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, and developmental psychology.

At Kadir Has University's Memory & Emotion Lab, I design experimental tasks, collect data through Qualtrics, code autobiographical memory narratives, organize literature databases in Zotero, and translate research materials. At MEFGEL Lab, I contributed to a developmental study of children's and adolescents' moral and social evaluations of gender nonconformity.

I've led quantitative experimental projects on mental rotation and imagery vividness, metacognitive performance, and latent inhibition, taking projects from research questions and literature reviews through study design, data collection, analysis, visualization, and academic writing. I use SPSS, Excel, R, Jamovi, JASP, FACETS, Winsteps, PsychoPy, Qualtrics, and Zotero.

My clinical and community experience includes neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation observation, school-based guidance and psychosocial support, and a UNICEF-funded social cohesion initiative for local and refugee youth. I also contribute to psychology translation and editorial work and have presented research at the Istanbul University Psychology Club Student Symposium.
