About Me
After graduating from Bogazici University’s Department of Sociology, I started to gain experience in the Human Resources department within various industries. After receiving professional coaching training in 2013, I became an ICF (International Coaching Federation) accredited Professional Coach. I’ve carried out some activities related to the coaching profession as an ICF member and a former Board Member of the Turkish Coaching Platform Association (KPD). Finally, while working in the HR team of a well-established holding, I decided to leave corporate life behind me and lead off a new career built upon my career coaching and consultancy skills. In this direction, I’ve created my first brand: FunOfis. I’ve written two books in Turkish: “Mutluluk Faktoru (Happiness Factor)” and “Degerlendirme Merkezi ve Mulakatlarda Basari (Succeed in Assessment Centres and Interviews)”. My third book is in English and available on Amazon: The Little Book of Job Hunter: Get Noticed!
After ending my career in Turkey, I moved all my career coaching and consultancy services to the UK in 2021. Within the same year, I was honoured to receive a PCC title, which the ICF only gives to experienced and competent coaches. My PCC badge can be verified here.
After 10 10-year gap in my academic journey, I completed my Master's in Psychology (MSc) at Northumbria University in 2022.
While living in the UK, I serve as a career coach, career consultant (Assessment Centre Rehearsals, Mock Interviews, etc.), and executive coach for individuals.
