About

Entrepreneur at the
intersection of education
& technology

I am a serial entrepreneur based in Ankara, Turkey, with deep expertise in international student recruitment, education consulting, and digital transformation. I have built and scaled operations that connect students from the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa with private Turkish universities.

As Co-founder & CEO of EL RAHMA Group, I operate as an official university representative — navigating commission structures, multilingual negotiations, and complex B2B relationships across multiple markets simultaneously.

Alongside education, I lead YouExplore Tech, a full-service agency specializing in ERP/CRM solutions, social media strategy, and software development for SMEs. I independently analyze the international education sector in Turkey, sharing observations on regulatory shifts and student mobility as thought leadership.
