Bio
I am a social entrepreneur. I left my life in New York and most recently my job at Microsoft to change the world in my corner of the world, in Turkey. My passion is to inspire women of Turkey to realize their potential with the power of real-life stories (video or at live events), mentoring, and networking. Our motto: if she did it, so can I" I am now obsessed with scaling our reach and impact to millions.
I'm passionate about
Network for change. Sisterhood. Community Building. Storytelling. Genealogy.
An idea worth spreading
Networking for change.
The TED story
Ted.com inspiration hour led me to organize TEDx's. My last TEDx was held at Nasdaq with the theme "Imagine" at the 40th anniversary of the song by John Lennon. Guess when! Now, I am a regular inspiration hunter at TED and apply TED's community and communication magic to create a movement in Turkey.
