Personal Journey and Challenges

The speaker, Dilara, shares her personal journey and experiences, including challenges faced in high school and university.
In high school, she wanted to pursue science but faced discouragement from a physics teacher and public criticism from a chemistry teacher.
Dilara emphasizes the importance of standing up against disrespectful behavior and reporting any instances of mistreatment.

Dilara initially studied nanotechnology in university but switched to molecular biology and genetic engineering without informing her family.
She believes that the education system is not always accurate in determining success and that personal development and passion are more important.
Dilara completed a stem cell regenerative medicine program at Marmara University, which provided her with valuable connections in the field.
Despite having a low GPA, she secured a job at a laboratory thanks to a reference from a professor.
Dilara reflects on her diverse career experiences, including working in genetics, women's health, and white-collar jobs.
She realized that white-collar work was not a good fit and decided to pursue her passion for genetics.

Dilara received training in personalized genetic medicine and became interested in individuals receiving treatment based on their unique genetic makeup.
She created a social media platform to share simplified and entertaining genetic information, making it more accessible and engaging for the general public.
The platform gained popularity, and Dilara found fulfillment in contributing to people's understanding of genetics and helping them make informed decisions about their health.

Dilara found her passion in raising awareness about early detection of diseases, especially breast cancer, through social media.
Despite initial skepticism and discouragement, she persisted in her mission and gained a significant following.
Dilara's success led to media attention and speaking opportunities, including a presentation at Yıldız Technical University and an interview with a social media agency.

Dilara emphasizes the importance of passion and perseverance in pursuing one's goals, even if it means creating a new career path.
She highlights the value of genetic testing and personalized medicine, sharing her own experiences and insights gained from offering individual genetic tests through her company.
Dilara encourages others to embrace their passions and make a difference, suggesting that every profession can adapt and present scientific knowledge to the public, potentially inspiring more people to enter the field.

Dilara received an offer from a publishing house to turn her content into children's books, leading to the creation of science books for various age groups.
Her social media presence grew, and she began receiving invitations to events, which excited and motivated her.
Dilara's work gained attention from television channels, leading to interviews and features on her experiments and scientific knowledge.
She organized her first independent event, showcasing her dedication to both the scientific and social media aspects of her work.
