Hey everyone, my name is Oktay.

I am a career changer, working full-time in Marketing, while studying part-time GDL. Balancing full-time work, studying, and application cycles is far from easy. However, it is an exciting journey. I'm looking forward to learning so much more from TCLA!
Hi!

I also studied the GDL alongside my full-time career at the time and am now doing the LPC alongside my TC so understand the struggles!

Welcome!
