ABOUT ME
In 1996, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey, where I was born and raised.Coming from a family of teachers, my passion for education has always been strong, and I decided to pursue it as a career. With the dream of completing my education and opening a school, I embarked on a journey to the Philippines. During my five years there, I achieved a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of the East, followed by a Master of Business Administration with a focus on Marketing from De La Salle University.
Ramadan Dinners
Every year, during the holy month of Ramadan, Sel and Angie extend invitations to hundreds of their friends, colleagues, and neighbors to join them for dinner as they break the fast. They have been hosting Friendship and Gratitude Ramadan Dinners for 16 years, and since 2017, they have opened their doors to the community, welcoming an average of 350 people each month.
Media Gallery
In 2023, Sel and Angie took their vision beyond their home to offer their hospitality as they collaborated with WJCT to organize two public dinners called Experience Ramadan, which took place within the news studio. These events garnered remarkable participation, with people coming out to endorse inclusivity and diversity and gain knowledge about Ramadan.
Blog
Welcome to my corner of the internet! As I sit down to write this, I find myself filled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Starting a blog has been a dream of mine for quite some time, and now that it's finally becoming a reality, I can't help but feel a surge of emotions. I am committed to sharing ideas, experiences, and knowledge. Throughout my life, I've always found solace and inspiration in the written word.
