ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ

I graduated with a first-class honours degree in Preschool Education & Guidance and Psychological Counseling double major program from BoÄŸaziçi Univertiy (Turkey) in 2017. After graduation, I worked in a private primary school as a school counsellor for a year before deciding that I want to further develop myself. 

After my decision I applied to Turkish Government’s study abroad scholarship programme for further education where I received a full scholarship that covered both master’s degree and PhD. I have always been interested in speech and language development in bilingual children. Hence in 2018, I started my Master’s in Speech Difficulties at the University of ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ which I have finished with distinction. 

In March 2019, I commenced my PhD in the Division of Human Communication Sciences. My research explores what is currently being done in the UK in terms of reading intervention the older ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ reader’s as well as aims to develop an intervention that incorporates technology for the same population.
