The Most Inspiring Immigrants in Atlantic Canada – 2024 Award by My East Coast Experience Media!!
Honoured to receive this award together with other 8 awesome folks from Atlantic Canada!
Amazingly, one of these awesome winners is another Turkish immigrant woman Burcu Kaptan from Nova Scotia – congrats Burcu so well deserved and very proud of your accomplishments!
Thanks My east Coast Experience Media for awarding me this award – I had great time during our award gala on Friday Feb. 2nd, Halifax!
Thanks my family, friends, community, mentors, students, assistants, collaborators, and community partners for making my scholarly & community work possible.
I am hugely humbled – While this is not the first award/recognition I have received, it is the most meaningful.
There is a very strange pride coming from being recognized as an immigrant – it is an amazing feeling.
The fact that this award recognizes social responsibility, leadership, and contributions to the community is huge.
I am now more motivated than ever to advocate, engage with community, reach out to population, and do meaningful research on cancer.
Thank you Newfoundland and Labrador for adopting me and making me one of yours – I love it here and I love you all!
Community makes everything so much better. I could not be where I am now personally and professionally without you.
THANK YOU!
I will continue to support and contribute to Newfoundland and Labrador with my scholarly and community work as well as advocacy on cancer. Yes b’y!
Thank you Dr. Teri Stuckless for nominating me and thank you John King and Dr. Kara Laing for supporting my nomination!
