What I'm looking for

I'm looking to develop my professional interests in psychology, particularly sports psychology, social psychology, and research, while contributing strong research, communication, and client-support skills.

I'm pursuing a master's in Applied Neuroscience in Sports and Exercise at Paderborn University after graduating with high honors in Psychology from Ege University.

At KU Leuven's Center for Social and Cultural Psychology, I supported a PhD thesis through SPSS survey analysis, data cleaning, statistical interpretation, literature reviews, and lab discussions.

I've also explored clinical practice at Dante Psychological Counseling Center, observing psychotherapy processes, cognitive behavioral therapy, schema therapy, ethics, confidentiality, and client-support procedures.

Alongside psychology, I've supported international banking customers at Odeabank and DenizBank, handling English-language calls, resolving transaction issues, and communicating clearly under peak demand.
