I was born and raised in Turkey (Istanbul), and yes I do have a European accent J.  I am a pediatrician and currently doing my fellowship at WashU in St. Louis. I am a family person and blessed with a close-knit family. My family consists of my parents, a sister, and one nephew who is the love of my life. Even though I love my family so much, I came all the way here to go above and beyond. As one can say, I am a dreamer,  and passionate about things in life. Personality-wise, work friends and family think that I am respectful, open-minded, and thoughtful. My close friends find me funny and recommend quitting my job and do a comedy but it is too late for that ( I am no Mrs. Maisel). Even though I can be goofy and silly at times, I take environmental issues, politics, inequality in society very seriously.  I am one of the ones who don't like to give up on their hopes and try to make a difference even it is small. 
I like to go out occasionally (interested in art and music), but most of the time a homebody.  I do love outdoor activities. Walking, hiking, running you name it... I love watching basketball and playing tennis.
