Zikriye Eliter graduated from Istanbul Technical University’s Department of Mathematical Engineering in 2002 and went on to pursue a career in teaching — a profession she once said she would never do. She finds reading as vital as breathing and takes every opportunity to travel.

Currently working as a mathematics teacher at a high school, Eliter has turned her passion for reading into a second profession by providing final proofreading support to various publishing houses before print.

Her life continues to be a quest to understand the world through both numbers and words.
