Hi! I’m Meltem

I recently graduated with an MD from Ankara University Medical School.

I currently live in Seattle and will move soon to Washington DC.

I am studying and preparing to get into a surgery residency.

My goal is to work with children who were born with cleft lips and palates.

My life was changed by a successful operation from a young doctor in a public hospital. I grew up learning from caring and thoughtful doctors who gave me the confidence and ability to smile and sing.

I am looking for research opportunities while I go through the matching process. And I am eager to be involved in fundraising and advocating for children who were born like me.

I am very interested in any research and initiatives to help children born with cleft lip and palates.
