Since 2000, she has been teaching various modules and leading design studios in architecture and interior architecture courses in different universities in Turkey, Cyprus, and the UK. During this period, she co-initiated several live and collaborative projects in partnership with universities, communities, NGOs, and local authorities in Turkey, Cyprus, and Italy.
