Strategic Development Specialist
I am a teacher, project coordinator, and educational consultant specializing in educational technologies, artificial intelligence, coding, and STEM. Thanks to my academic background in Computer Education and Instructional Technology and my interdisciplinary approach, I lead digital transformation processes and design inclusive, eco-friendly, and culturally rich learning environments.
Through the projects I carry out at national and international levels, I contribute to a wide range of areas—from teacher training to curriculum development, from content production to student support programs. My work, especially aimed at empowering girls in technology and robotics, aligns with the principles of gender equality and equal opportunity.
My Future Vision
Under the umbrella of Paydaş Eğitim, Kültür ve Sanat Derneği, in collaboration with educational institutions in Europe—particularly within Erasmus+ projects—my goals are to:
- Develop innovative educational models in digital citizenship, artificial intelligence, and robotics
- Promote intercultural learning through student and teacher mobility
- Integrate art, sports, and nature-based learning approaches with STEM to create inclusive learning environments
- Create social impact through projects on environmental awareness and sustainability in education
- Produce technology-supported learning solutions for disadvantaged groups
In line with this vision, I am ready to take an active role in increasing our association’s international visibility and expanding its partnership networks.
