About me

Throughout my journey, I have dedicated my professional career to helping those in need, working with national and international NGOs in various positions. I am specialized in Protection programs and hold a certification as a Project Manager in the development sector. Throughout my career, I have had several successes leading teams in Turkey, particularly in child protection. I am proud of the positive impact I have made in the lives of many vulnerable individuals and families. Currently, I work as a part-time lecturer and researcher, where I am able to continue making a difference by sharing my knowledge and experiences.
My research focus is on (forced) migration, how those who are forcibly displaced live in host countries, and how the host communities perceive and interact with them. I believe that understanding and addressing the challenges faced by forced migrants is crucial for creating a more inclusive and equitable society. I want to make a meaningful contribution to this field through my research and to break stereotypes and misconceptions about forced migration worldwide. I have already published several publications in this field, and I am passionate about continuing to share my research findings with others. I am also an SPSS expert, and I have been developing my data analysis skills, particularly in statistics. This is a crucial aspect of my research, as it enables me to accurately analyze and present data to support my findings.
Outside of my academic and professional pursuits, I am an avid sports enthusiast. I enjoy going to the gym and hiking, and I have even hiked Mount Takao more than 20 times! I believe that staying active and connecting with nature is essential for maintaining a healthy balance in life. I hope that you will enjoy exploring my homepage and learning more about my journey. I believe that together we can make a difference in the world, and I am committed to continuing to work toward a future where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Let's work to eliminate the word "refugee" from our dictionaries and create a world where no one has to be forced to leave their homes.
