Writer

Currently taking a gap year, I am driven by a career in medicine and deeply interested in research across neuroscience, AI in healthcare, and pharmacology (particularly pharmacogenomics).

In addition to pursuing a future in medical research, I am currently working on a personal project: building an AI-powered application that helps users track and understand their stress levels and melatonin cycles. By analysing factors like daily activities, age, and behavioural patterns, the app aims to make insights about well-being more accessible and personalised. And various tracker guides for people with ADHD, OCD, and Anxiety. Trackers to detect brain activity/sleep dysfunction. This is paired with my interest in architecture design, adding a creative twist to my tech work.

Outside of academic and research pursuits, I enjoy reading (yup on my 533rd book) and writing; and am currently drafting a novel. A gamer, anime lover, baker, and fitness freak, I like to keep creativity and fun my main priority. I also enjoy designing, creating visual content and social posts. Learning languages is another growing passion, with Turkish, Arabic, and now Spanish in the mix.

With a goal of becoming both a medical profession and a researcher, I am excited to continue exploring ways to bridge the gap between science and real-world applications to make a lasting impact on healthcare.
