Melis B.

Ben Berna Çapçıoğlu. 1970 yılında Ankara'da doğdum. İlk, orta ve lise eğitimimi TED Ankara Koleji'nde tamamladıktan sonra Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (ODTÜ) Ekonomi Bölümü'nden mezun oldum. Aynı yıl TürkEximbank Finans Departmanı'nda çalışmaya başladım. Evlilik nedeniyle 1994 yılında İstanbul'a taşındım ve Yapı Kredi Bankası Osmanbey Şubesi'nde çalışmaya başladım. Aynı zamanda Marmara Üniversitesi'nde Bankacılık ve Sigortacılık yüksek lisans programına başladım. Tüm çalışanlar arasında aldığım Uzmanlık Sınavı'nda birinci oldum. Bunun ardından Alternatif Yatırım'dan teklif aldım ve Bağdat Caddesi Şubesi'nde Şube Müdürü olarak göreve başladım. 2001 yılında finansal kriz döneminde yüksek lisans tezimi tamamladım ve sektör değiştirmeye karar verdim. Amerika merkezli Clear Channel Outdoor Advertising şirketinde Satış ve Pazarlama Müdürü olarak çalıştım. Ayrıca kurumsal müşterilere satış ve pazarlama konularında freelance eğitim verdim ve "Depresyon Atlası" adlı kitabı çevirdim. Kitap okuma ve yazma alışkanlığım, doktora yapma isteğimi yeniden canlandırdı. Şirketi terk ettim ve Beykoz Lojistik Meslek Yüksekokulu'nda (şimdi Beykoz Üniversitesi olarak bilinir) Kurumsal Gelişim Departmanı Başkanı ve reklamcılık ve halkla ilişkiler bölümünde yarı zamanlı öğretim görevlisi olarak görev aldım. İstanbul Üniversitesi Sosyoloji Bölümü'nde doktora programına kabul edildiğimde işimi bıraktım ve Umut Vakfı'nda Koordinatör olarak yarı zamanlı çalışmaya başladım. 2014 yılında oğlum doğduğunda emekli oldum ve kendimi onun yetiştirilmesine adadım. Uzun bir süre çalışmamaktan dolayı sıkıldım, ancak pandemi tüm planlarımı bozdu. Bu süre zarfında kapsamlı araştırmalar ve okumalara kendimi adadım. Üniversitede öğretim görevlisi olarak çalışırken temel eğitimin akademik bir kariyerin şekillenmesindeki önemini birinci elden gözlemledim ve ilkokul çocuklarının gelişimsel süreçlerini nasıl destekleyebileceğini araştırdım. Amacım, ilkokul çocuklarına oyun odaklı bir yaklaşım ile öğrenmenin ne kadar keyifli olabileceğini göstermektir. My name is Ben Berna Çapçıoğlu. I was born in 1970 in Ankara. After completing my primary, middle, and high school education at TED Ankara College, I graduated from the Department of Economics at Middle East Technical University (ODTÜ). In the same year, I started working in the Finance Department at TürkEximbank. Due to marriage, I moved to Istanbul in 1994 and began working at Yapı Kredi Bank Securities Division, Osmanbey Branch. At the same time, I started my master's degree in Banking and Insurance at Marmara University. I ranked first in the Specialist Examination I took among all employees. Following this, I received an offer from Alternatif Yatırım and started my duty as the Branch Manager at the Bağdat Caddesi Branch. In 2001, during the financial crisis, I completed my master's thesis and decided to change sector. I worked as Sales and Marketing Manager at Clear Channel Outdoor Advertising, a U.S.-based company. In addition, I provided freelance training on sales and marketing to corporate clients and translated the book "Depresyon Atlası" (Atlas of Depression). My lifelong habit of reading and writing books revived my desire to pursue a doctoral degree. I left the company and served as the Head of Corporate Development Department and part-time lecturer in the Advertising and Public Relations Department at Beykoz Logistics Vocational School (now known as Beykoz University). When I was accepted into the doctoral program in the Sociology Department at Istanbul University, I left my job and started working part-time as a Coordinator at Umut Vakfı. In 2014, when my son was born, I retired and dedicated myself to raising him. I had grown tired of not working for a long time, but the pandemic disrupted all my plans. During this time, I devoted myself to extensive research and reading. Having witnessed firsthand the importance of basic education in shaping an academic career while working as a lecturer at the university, I researched how to support elementary school children's developmental processes. My ambition is to demonstrate how enjoyable learning can be for elementary school children through a game-focused approach.

I am Ebru Melike IBIS, Ebru is preferred usually and I love both of my names. I’ve been a science teacher for five years. After my internships in Tevfik Fikret Schools (FrancÉducation) and IDV Bilkent Middle School (IB), I worked in a Cambridge school for three years. Nowadays, I am working another Cambridge accredited school and an online international academy (CCSS and NGSS), and I am teaching the courses of General Science, Environmental Sciences, Chemistry and Biology from grade 4 to 12. I am always so energetic and motivated especially in my job and my hobbies. Teaching is a dynamic process for me. If we are not as dynamic as possible, it will be hard to teach effectively and to manage the class. Moreover, spending time for child development always inspires and motivates me a lot. Even though there are some problematic students, I focus on getting their attention. This is not as easy as it seems but I am a go-getter person. This adjective, go-getter, is usually used to describe me by my friends and family. Furthermore, I have some hobbies which are playing tennis, doing yoga and reading books and journals. They all enhance some of my skills. Tennis keeps me alert and focused. Yoga helps me to understand myself and calm down even at crisis management. They are also healthy activities for my body. Reading books and journals keep me updated to surprise my students and colleagues, too. I have been in USA as a part of a cultural exchange program named Work and Travel and I have lived my best days at that time. USA is a cosmopolitan and multicultural country. As an open-minded person, I can easily adapt to teach worldwide. I am sure that it will be a great time not only for me but also for my prospective students. I can have them experience different foods, music styles and dances from my culture. My future students can inspire me every day because there are students from many different cultures. Then, the days we spend together would be great example for the term of ‘mutualism’ in science. I see the organization climates as a family. Of course, we are professionals, and we have professional relationships. However, in schools, we care about students and education, so there are always surprising situations and updates. To be adaptive to these changes, every candidate should be insightful and helpful. Moreover, except from the adaptability, internal stakeholders in schools see each other every work day, and the climate is created by their behaviors to each other. Positive behaviors and smiling faces can raise the positiveness of the environments as I am always careful about these issues. Overall, I look forward to an opportunity to meet with you and further discuss my qualifications. In the meantime, feel free to contact me at + (90) 5066994945. Thank you for your time and consideration.
