"I entered American Collegiate Institute in İzmir, of the Health and Education Foundation, to learn and departed it to serve. With my experience in business and NGOs, I will support the development of our Foundation's human resources in the provision of necessary resources to ensure that the physical and social capacities of our Foundation's schools are above global standards. I believe that the mission of our Foundation of raising self-confident, successful individuals who serve their conmmunities for more than a century, with an 'education first' mindset, should be further developed. As someone who cares about the interests of all parties affected by the decisions made, who believes in the importance of consultation and managing with a common consensus, I will serve in the Board of the Health and Education Foundation to the best of my energy and experience.
