After completing my master’s at Boğaziçi University and my PhD in Political Science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (USA), I taught courses at undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral levels, primarily in Political Science and Research Methods. I also supervised doctoral and master’s theses and served on many thesis committees.

​

Seeing that many students, despite having a strong foundation in their disciplines, often lost their way in the thesis-writing process due to a lack of methodological and academic writing skills led me toward thesis coaching after leaving institutional academia.

​

I began this journey by coaching numerous qualitative and quantitative thesis and dissertation projects with a UK-based company, and have now taken it to a professional level by founding Dissertation Roadmap.
