I am a DVM, graduated in Turkey. My work since graduation has been focused in Epidemiology, Risk Assessment, Infectious Disease Modeling. After graduation, I worked for the public sector and University in Turkey, first as a field veterinarian in the Turkey dealing with animal disease surveillance, awareness and training; and later my research interests focus on emerging infectious diseases which threaten animal health. I combined skills in virology and epidemiology, to be able to study FMD at laboratory and field level. I achieve the well-defined goals by five principals: determination; self- motivation; responsibilities; communication (verbal/no-verbal/written); enthusiasm, in managing and analyzing Epidemiological information. Following my growing interest in quantitative methods in animal health, I finished a Phd. at the University of Selcuk focused in epidemiology and infectious disease modeling (FMD). I currently work as an associate professor of virology at Necmettin Erbakan University.
