In 2009, after graduating from Middle East Technical University (METU) with a degree in Chemistry Education, I started my career as an IGCSE and A-level chemistry teacher at Abu Dhabi Al Nahda International School. Later, I continued my profession as an IB Chemistry and Theory of Knowledge (TOK) teacher at Izmir American College and Terakki Foundation Schools.

I leverage my experience and knowledge as an academic counselor, student coach, and education consultant under the umbrella of Diyomeda Education and Consultancy. Additionally, I provide mentorship to novice IB teachers, offer educational workshops, and work as a content creator and editor on international platforms in the field of IB education.
