I got my undergraduate degree in Environmental Science from the University of Sussex in England. After completing a CELTA course, I taught general and technical English at Anadolu and Osmangazi Universities in Eskižehir. I then went into the English preparatory school at Anadolu University where I taught for a further four years. I obtained an MA TEFL degree from the University of Reading, England, a place I also taught at while studying for my degree. I joined Izmir Economy University in 2003 and teach Freshman English and Effective Speaking Skills.
