Living our values

"My mother was one of the first girls to attend high school in her rural town in Turkey. She subsequently studied at Istanbul Technical University and had an exceptional academic career in chemical engineering. Her audacity inspired many young students in the same town to pursue higher education and inspired me to come to the U.S. by myself when I was 16. She carved the path for the next generation and made an impact through insight and tenacity which is also the firm value I resonate with the most."
