Confused about what to do next while studying at Hacettepe University, Hazal took a short break from her student life in 2011 with a Bachelor’s degree in English Language and Literature, a minor certificate in Art History and an Associate Degree in Foreign Trade from the Open Education Faculty. In 2012, she joined the staff of Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University, where she worked as an English Teacher for two years, then went to Bilkent University to complete her master’s degree in English Language Teaching and returned to her job in Zonguldak after a year. Since then, she has been working at the School of Foreign Languages with various duties and responsibilities.

In addition to her academic life, Hazal is also very supportive of volunteer projects. Hazal worked as a volunteer for the Educational Volunteers Foundation of Turkey and the Ecological Research Association’s Caretta Caretta research and rescue project during her teenage years. She is proud of the fact that she can now direct and send her students to projects.

One of Hazal’s hobbies that contributes to her creativity is painting and another is playing the guitar. Among her short-term goals is to regain her former success in these two hobbies, which she has neglected for a while. Hazal has also been pursuing a dream for her institution for a long time; she wants to pioneer the establishment of an Individual Learning Center where many different activities can be carried out simultaneously, offering a friendly environment where students feel very happy to be in. It is unclear which of these goals she will be able to accomplish in the time she has left with her little twins, but who knows, she may be able to do more.
