What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters creativity and allows me to contribute to mental health initiatives.

I am a recent psychology graduate with a strong commitment to innovation and personal development. My educational journey at İstanbul Rumeli University has equipped me with a solid foundation in psychological principles, which I am eager to apply in various fields. Currently, I am expanding my knowledge through media and communication studies at Anadolu University and UI/UX design training with Adobe XD at BTK Academy.

My internship experiences have provided me with valuable hands-on skills in psychological counseling and clinical settings. At Novo Psikoloji, I actively participated in case discussions and organized mental health events, while my time at Balıklı Greek Hospital allowed me to observe and engage in therapeutic practices. I have also completed online training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, enhancing my understanding of various therapeutic approaches.
