I was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey, and I currently live in Vancouver, British Columbia. I graduated from Boston University in 2020 with a bachelor’s in economics, along with a minor in business administration and management. After graduation, I worked at Reach.Live in San Francisco as a program manager, where I gained hands-on experience in evaluating product features and collaborating closely with engineering teams to align the product roadmap with user needs. I later transitioned to Stripe as a sales representative, developing outbound strategies and partnering with cross-functional teams.
I realized during this time that working closely with technology and helping businesses scale through tech was something I wanted to pursue further. Recognizing the need to further understand software development, I am now pursuing a master’s in computer science at Northeastern University.
I’m eagerly looking forward to a co-op during my graduate studies to gain practical experience in software engineering. My ultimate goal is to go back to the fintech space, where I can merge my business knowledge with my tech skills. I’m also passionate about diversifying the tech industry and plan to focus on racial equity advocacy to help others succeed in this space, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds.
