Welcome to my website! I'm Işın (pronunciation) Karakaplan, though you can also call me Sunshine. I am currently pursuing an MBA with concentrations in Finance, Strategy, and Entrepreneurship at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where I expect to graduate with honors in March 2025. My academic and professional background is interdisciplinary, starting with a PhD from Texas A&M University, followed by a research role at Kraft Heinz, and further enriched by a Financial Accounting Certificate from Harvard University.
Throughout my career, I’ve built a robust foundation in finance, strategy, and research. My areas of expertise include Financial Strategy, Financial Stability, Stock Markets, New Venture Strategy, FinTech, Banking, Venture Capital, Private Equity, Entrepreneurship, Corporate Finance, and Modeling.
Most recently, I worked as a research assistant at the University of Chicago, focusing on digital competition and financial stability. I am also passionate about strategy and entrepreneurship, and I had the opportunity to serve as a teaching assistant for a graduate-level MBA course on financial strategy.
Driven by curiosity, a love for learning, and a commitment to making an impact in the finance industry, my journey continues to evolve.
