I’m a Turkish mom with a background in communications and event management. My life started in Istanbul and, over the years, has taken me to many different cities and countries. I’ve now lived in the United States for more than 12 years. Our first home here was in California. We later moved to Boston, but California’s weather, nature and way of life brought us back to Silicon Valley.

Raising my own children here has given me a close-up view of different schools, different cities, and what it really means to live between two cultures.

That’s the idea behind Spoklo. We create programs where teens can use English with more confidence in everyday situations and get an up-close look at universities, the world of technology and California culture.

I’ve been there myself: a mom who knew English grammar but struggled to speak, who taught her child English from scratch, and who has lived between two cultures first-hand. So I understand the questions parents have, especially the big ones: “How will my child feel here? What will they gain? Will they be comfortable?”

Today at Spoklo, I bring together years of local knowledge, my background in communications and event management, and everything I’ve learned as a mom to create programs that are thoughtfully designed from start to finish.

I’d love to welcome you to Spoklo.
