I was born in Diyarbakır. After completing my primary, secondary, and high school education there, I moved to Eskişehir for my medical studies. I graduated from Eskişehir Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine.

Afterwards, I started my residency training at Abdurrahman Yurtaslan Oncology Training and Research Hospital, where I also later worked as a specialist. Following my compulsory service, I returned to the same oncology hospital—where I had completed my residency—as a specialist.
