I graduated Cum Laude from Dartmouth College with a BE in Mechanical Engineering in November 2024.

I was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey, and have been fascinated by the various systems around me since childhood. I have a passion for all kinds of creating and exploring. This passion has translated into experiences with engineering-based product design, proof-of-concept prototyping, and large-scale manufacturing. However, it also shows up in my creative design, visual arts, music, and travel projects!

As demonstrated by my success as a Project Manager, I have strong interpersonal skills and a talent for problem-solving. I am passionate about engaging in mechanical design challenges with authenticity, care, and curiosity to impact others’ lives for the better. I yearn to express myself creatively and value a resilient, organized, and responsible work ethic.
