About Me
I was born in Izmir in 1994. During my early years, I developed an interest in English and drawing. After graduating as the top student from my high school, I pursued a degree in English and German Translation and Interpretation at Dokuz Eylül University. During the second year of my undergraduate studies, I participated in the Erasmus+ exchange program and studied at Pazmany Peter Catholic University in Budapest, Hungary. Following my graduation, I completed a three-month translation internship in Brno, the Czech Republic, as part of the Erasmus+ program. I continued my career by obtaining pedagogical training and working as an English teacher. From 2018 to 2022, I taught at Rota College and Bahçeşehir College, respectively. In 2022, I joined Canva as an Education Specialty Creator, producing digital educational materials accessible to students and teachers worldwide. Additionally, I design lesson materials for Mentora Education Group. Currently, I teach English at TAKEV while also continuing to create educational materials for both Canva and Mentora. As a teacher, I find the most joy in crafting visually engaging and captivating lesson materials. It's an indescribable feeling to know that the materials I've created are being used by thousands of teachers and students both in my country and abroad.

My Portfolio
I design educational materials such as worksheets, activity books, presentations, flashcards, and infographics in high-resolution, customizable, and downloadable formats for Canva. You can access all the educational materials I have designed for Canva from my profile. If you are a teacher, you can obtain a free Canva for Education account to edit and download both free and pro materials from me without any cost.
I have also designed various worksheets and activity booklets for Mentora Education Group, including ages 4, 5, and all elementary school levels. While creating my materials, I pay careful attention to instilling 21st-century skills such as critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation, digital literacy, cultural competence, and global awareness in students. These skills are considered essential for individuals to thrive in today's interconnected and evolving world, where technology, globalization, and continuous learning play significant roles.
