Profile summary

Year-3 Nutrition & Dietetics student at Istanbul Medipol University (Orhangazi Science High School, 2019–2023). Living with type 1 diabetes has deeply shaped her professional direction; she focuses on endocrine-related nutrition, sports nutrition, and eating disorders within an ethical, evidence-informed frame, while actively joining national and international summits, congresses, and webinars and aiming for graduate study. As a University Career Ambassador and social-media team lead she bridges the career centre and students, running announcements and participation flows. With Kağıt Helva Magazine (Medipol publications) she manages social content and visibility. As a student representative on the Quality Commission (Rectorate KAP) she contributes to accreditation-related feedback loops. Through Medipol Nutrition Club she has served as vice chair and chair, planning activities and academic partnerships. As DietCoop Istanbul coordinator (from Mar 2026) she plans seminars, webinars, and career days, coordinates speakers and partners, and supports community growth. She also contributes as vice chair of a youth NGO board; has led Istanbul coordination and academy roles with Nutdie/CV Akdemi; served as university representative for Diyetnografi; and gained HR operations experience at Namsal Gıda. Volunteer observer at İSÜ Liv Hospital Bahçeşehir (anthropometry, history taking, follow-up support). Speaker, host, organiser, and student duty roles across awareness and scientific events (diabetes and eating-disorder awareness, school programmes, certified programme on GLP-1 and the dietitian’s role, national/international congresses). Published pieces in Kağıt Helva on living with diabetes (2024) and AI in public-health nutrition (2025).
