Founders Bio

Nomad Scholars was founded by Buket Aya and Hakan Ayaz — partners in life and in purpose — who are rewriting what it means to relocate for education.

Buket is a Certified Educational Planner (CEP), Career Development Advisor, and a trusted voice on global education boards. With a deep-rooted passion for helping students find not just schools, but meaningful direction, she’s known for turning chaos into clarity with a touch of calm and a ton of heart.

Hakan brings decades of leadership as a curriculum expert, school strategist, and educator with international insight. Together, they combine strategy and soul, helping families transition not just smoothly — but purposefully.

At Nomad Scholars, you’re not just moving countries. You’re moving forward — with people who truly know the way.
