I am Zeynep Gökmen, a psychology graduate currently pursuing a Master’s in Forensic Psychology at the Police Academy in Ankara. I am deeply curious about how statistics intersect with psychological practice, and I am eager to conduct research that informs real-world outcomes, from mental health support to justice-related applications. Through research assistant roles, fieldwork, and internships, I developed hands-on skills in data collection, coding with MAXQDA, handling surveys, and applying statistical tools (SPSS, R, Python). I thrive in collaborative teams and under challenging situations, and I am committed to lifelong learning in statistics, psychology, and research methods.
