Let’s start with the beginning. You had a very dynamic childhood. Can you tell us about it?
Growing up, my life was a tapestry of new horizons; born in Elazığ, eastern Turkey, to a military pilot father, my childhood was a mosaic of different cities, cultures, and schools, including an elementary education in Texas, USA. This nomadic lifestyle, although challenging, constantly being the new girl and facing academic pressures—unexpectedly sculpted my resilience and adaptability. Despite the academic challenges and being an active scout, which took me on adventures from camping in the mountains to wilderness survival at 12, my academic path didn’t shine until university. Yet, all turned around at once, when I took my first marketing class, fell in love with it, and finished school in 3 years, laying the first stones of my career.
