Researcher with a global perspective, an M.A. in Social & Consumer Psychology, and hands-on experience in consumer insights, UX research, and behavioral science.

As a Turkish-American with a global upbringing, I developed a deep appreciation for diverse perspectives while attending an international school in Turkey. I later moved to the U.S. to earn my B.S. in Brain and Behavioral Sciences with a minor in Philosophy from Purdue University, focusing on Cognitive Psychology research. A major undergraduate project solidified my passion for research and set the stage for my career.

I hold an M.A. in Social and Consumer Psychology from NYU, specializing in consumer behavior, user experience, and market research. My expertise spans experimental design, statistical analysis, survey research, qualitative interviewing, and physiological measurement tools. Professionally, I’ve worked at MediaScience with top media brands on advertising research, and I’m currently on assignment with Meta via Tundra Technical Solutions, conducting research at the intersection of human factors, UX research, HCI, and machine learning at Meta Reality Labs.

Grounded in a global perspective and shaped by both academic and industry research, I bring energy, focus, and enthusiasm to every project and challenge. Looking ahead, I’m excited to join a team that values curiosity, creativity, and evidence-based decision-making—where I can continue shaping impactful, human-centered research in consumer insights, UX, and behavioral science.
