Growing up, I always knew I wanted to work with children. I would describe myself as an open, friendly, organized, loyal, and faithful individual. As a vibrant university graduate with extensive experience working with children of all ages, I bring a combination of enthusiasm, professionalism, and dedication to my work. While living in Istanbul, I've had various roles such as a nanny, a kindergarten teacher assistant, and currently, I work at the French school here as shadow teachers, supporting autistic students since 2020. I'm currently 33 years old. Through my years of working with kids, I've learned that they come into the world with a blank slate, and it's our responsibility as parents and teachers to provide them with the best education, knowledge, and choices to help them reach their potential. I believe in fostering independence through positive discipline, praise, and encouragement. Being surrounded by children brings me joy because of their imagination, innocence, and creativity.
Outside of work, I'm a creative person who enjoys making crafty items for family and friends. I have diverse interests including listening to music from various genres, reading non-fiction books, dancing, and connecting with people from different cultures. Learning about different cultures is a lifelong passion of mine.
