I am an Academician focused on healthy aging and aging processes. I am a Physiotherapist, a Gerontologist who graduated from the Gerontology Department with the first rank. I have a master's degree in Gerontology and my PhD continues in the same field. I am also continuing my education to become a Dietitian and a Personal Trainer. My work focuses on examining the effects of exercise, diet, psychological and social factors on healthy aging. My goal is to help older people maximize their physical and mental capacity. I develop solutions to improve their quality of life and support them to live an independent life. I have a multidisciplinary approach and work closely with health professionals, caregivers and older people. Thanks to the organizations I have worked with and the projects I have carried out, I have gained a wide network and experience in this field. I aim to share all the knowledge and experience gained at this critical stage of human life. I want to raise awareness on healthy ageing and promote innovative practices.
