About me

I am a Developmental Psychology M.Sc. student at Middle East Technical University. I graduated with a Psychology major and a Data Science minor at METU Northern Cyprus Campus in 2023. I am interested in the cognitive aspects and developmental trajectories of language development, particularly the interplay of atypical development and language outcomes related to emotional development. Besides, I enjoy yoga and mindfulness.
