Who is Gülbalca Çakıroğlu?

After graduating from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Psychology, I was accepted to Dokuz Eylul University Clinical Neuroscience Master's program due to my interest in the brain and working principles. While I was doing my master's degree, I started to work as a TUBITAK 112S459 1001 project scholar in the Multidisciplinary Brain Dynamics laboratory. Thus, while working on my thesis with Alzheimer's patients for 2 years, I had the opportunity to get to know the human brain like a scientist. After I finished my thesis, I decided to work in the sector as a specialist in order to see the results of my laboratory experiences in real life. I have worked with families and children in private schools for 6 years. I decided to finish my school career at ITA Italian school. In this process, I was accepted to the Rumeli University Clinical Psychology program for my second master's degree. The main purpose of a psychologist is to make up for the losses that people have in the healthiest way or repair it well enough.  My life, dedicated to serving people in need, continues to evolve and grow in its own way to do my job better. In short  On the one hand, while my studentship still remains for lifetime, on the other hand, I continue to work as a Specialist Psychologist and see my clients.
