Hello,
My name is Figen. Most of the time people call me Figgy. I live in South of Turkey, born in 1978. I am Mediterranean.
I have graduated from my first University in 2001, in Plant Pathology Science, of Agriculture Faculty.
And in 2020 I decided to study my passion subject and get a diploma from Cooking, so I finished my second University this year in 2022.
Since 2017, I am doing my own business from home, and cooking home made delicious meals, making balanced meal preps and also been writting meal plans for my customers according their choices, health conditions nd the sports they do.
I have received the education on Nutrition and Meal Planning in U.S. Air Force from 2012-2017. I started working at Military Hospital, Health and Wellness Center as a clerk in 2012. In meantime as I have shown high performance in job, I have given several educations and workshop to become a Nutrition and Weight Loss Coach. I am also certified as a Motivation Coach for Healthy Life Style.
My relaMy relation with nutrition started before 2012, in a Bowling and Restaurant Facility in U.S Air Force. From 2009 to 2012 I have worked there as the Administration Assistant, which I supervised several Local National and also U.S. National employees and contractors. Have learned food handling, preparing, pricing, creating menu, envantory control, hygiene, customer service, managing and much more in the kitchen and the Restaurant section.
Before my restaurant and kitchen experiences, I was more into graphic designing, photography and arranging trips. From 2007 to 2009 I have worked as a contractor at U.S. Air Force base in the city I lived in, and I was the contracter professional photographer in studio and also outdoors. Besides I was working at an engraving shop to design on computer and engrave awards, plaques, trophy’s to Military and Civilian members of Air Force.
From 2008 to 2017, managed a non-profit organization to arrange trips in the Photography and Travel club I started with my elder sister who also worked in Air Force. We have organized trips in Turkiye and also outside of Turkiye.
Before all these work experiences, I have worked at a local hospital as V.I.P Patients respondant nd translator.
Also worked as a Sales Manager and Supervisor for a contractor Sales company which provides supplies to the Air Force base aswell.
As you can tell most of the time I have worked in fields that I have always loved to do.
Especially traveling, photography and cooking were what make me feel alive at most!
After 2017, I decided I should combine all my experiences and knowledge on my biggest passion and focus on shaping my life on this path, and decided to start my own home bussiness in meal prepping.
With the Nutrition Coaching knowledge I had from my experiences, this was not a difficult job for me. But I love to cook every kind of meals, so once in a while I changed the Menu and shaped it as the requests came from my customers. Lately I am working on a whole new project, which aims to please everyone with their choices, diets and health conditions low or high calories to reply everyone’s needs.
As I have worked with Americans in Air Force, for almost 10 years, my English is well, to work on Freelance writing projects, and I am open to keep learning and making it even better by writing more…
