Hey there! I'm Hülya, originally from the beautiful landscapes of Turkey, but I've been calling the United States home for the past 24 years!
I'm a lifelong learner at heart, which is why you'll find that I've collected quite a few degrees and teaching certificates along the way. I earned my BS in Management from the University of Phoenix, a Bachelor's in Education/Special Education from the University of Texas at San Antonio, and I proudly completed my Master’s in Organizational Performance and Workplace Learning in just three semesters with honors while I was still teaching. As part of that journey, I also obtained my graduate-level Workplace Instructional Design certification. And I hold multiple teaching certificates from different states!
When I’m not busy studying or working (though I often promise myself a leisurely summer, only to dive into a new degree or certification), you'll find me lifting weights, traveling, or enjoying quality time with my family. I have an insatiable curiosity that keeps me exploring new things and places!
Family means the world to me; they're my lifeline and the jewels of my life. I'm incredibly grateful for my supportive and loving crew. My sister is my partner in crime, and my crown jewel is my daughter, who is studying microbiology and on her way to medical school. I couldn't be prouder of her! And I can't forget to mention my adorable 15-year-old Yorkie Hobbes, who brings endless joy to our family.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing this little glimpse into my life!
Love, 🧡
Hülya
