Merve Köksal

I was born in Istanbul, Turkey. I grew up in two separate countries; Turkey and the US. Fluent speaker of Turkish and English. I can say that I was an artist from a young age. I am currently studying architecture at one of the SUNY schools in New York and I have always been very passionate about my major (anything that involves designing, count me in!). I love travelling and like to draw/paint when I find the time. I like trying new things when I go to different countries and discover new cultures and their history. I am very interested in art and enjoy going to museums. To me, every piece of art is another source of inspiration. Art is what makes my personality. My biggest goal is to become one of the top ten architects in Turkey. Why Turkey? Well, I think I will be tired of New York by the time I graduate. My path of becoming an architect is a true struggle, but I believe those with resistance will achieve success.
