01 — About

Medicine, explained well

I graduated from Marmara University School of Medicine in 2023 and went straight into the pharmaceutical industry, on the medical side. It has been challenging and eye-opening: it shows you healthcare from an angle most doctors never see.

My job is to make sure what a company says about its medicines is accurate. I follow the literature, brief the teams on what is new, train medical representatives, and present to healthcare professionals across the country — in hospital clinics and at table-top meetings.

I am outgoing, curious and I like keeping up with where medicine is going. Outside work you will usually find me on a plane, eating my way through a new city.
