I was born on 2 February 1980 in Urla. After completing my secondary education at Bornova Anadolu High School and İzmir Science High School, I graduated from Ege University Faculty of Medicine in 2003 with a national ranking.
 
I completed my specialisation in Ophthalmology at the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Dokuz Eylül University in 2009 with my thesis on the comparison of intravitreal treatments with full and reduced-dose photodynamic therapy combinations in patients with age-related macular degeneration. After completing my mandatory service at the İzmir Dr. Behçet Uz Children's Diseases and Surgery Education and Research Hospital and the Manisa Turgutlu State Hospital, I returned to the Department of Ophthalmology at Dokuz Eylül University as a specialist physician in 2012, where I was appointed Assistant Professor in 2013, Associate Professor in 2018, and Professor in 2024. I am currently continuing my services at my own clinic.
