Family: Her father is a writer, her mother is a fashion designer and teacher. She lived in Russia for a while when she was young because of her mother’s job. “I was a lucky kid. Thank God I was not far from my family. I’ve been dealing with ballet for as long as I can remember. Ballet is a difficult branch of art, both physically and psychologically, but when I look back, I can say that I had a happy day. When a person desires something badly, he ignores the difficulties. My family, who is intertwined with art and encouraged me, has a big share in this. Especially my mother is my biggest supporter. He’s the one who took me to my first ballet and piano class. Since my father was a writer, I was interested in literature classes. I loved keeping a diary and putting my imaginations in lines. When I am stressed, I am interested in watercolors, drawing costumes inspired by ballerinas also comes from my mother.
Childhood years: She grew up in Russia for a short time until a certain age, then in the Islands. She met ballet at the age of 2.5. Because the Achilles tendon was short, the second address for a period was physical therapy centers. She did not give up. She danced in many countries of the world. She was an intern at Pina Bausch, one of the most important representatives of modern dance. “As a child who grew up in the forest on the island, on the street, by the sea, I feel luckier than today’s children. Everyone who listens to my story says, “How did you fit so many things in your life at this age?” There is so much to tell. I started ballet when I was 2.5 years old. Then we moved to Russia because of my family’s business. I took ballet and piano lessons there. We returned to Istanbul. Then I entered the conservatory part time. My second address in middle school was the Capa Physical Therapy Center. My Achilles tendons are short. So, this is one of the most used muscles of the body in ballet. Being short makes it very difficult, I started therapy to prolong it. This time in high school, my right hand reached the point of tearing. I had treatment for him for a long time. After recovering, I went to England to study ballet at the age of 16. I studied at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, affiliated with the Royal Academy. Meanwhile, I enrolled and studied at a Royal school where I could be an international teacher. They asked us to do an internship one semester before I finished the school. I had to go to many countries of the world. Because ballet agreements are project-based and it is necessary to participate in trials in various countries for different plays. England first, then Lithuania. I did modern dance there. Then France, Netherlands and Germany. I did an internship at Pina Bausch, one of the most important representatives of modern dance. I stayed in Prague for a while and went back to Paris. ”
Educational life: She studied at Mimar Sinan University State Conservatory Ballet Department. She then completed her master’s degree in London.
The turning point of her life: She was discovered by a casting director at a London subway stop. She also played the little one of Scarlett Johansson for a scene in the Avengers movie. “One day we were sitting opposite a woman on the subway in London. After landing, he cut my way and gave his card. Turns out he was an agency owner. Thanks to them, I participated in the filming of various brands. Then I returned to Turkey. It is very difficult to attend the auditions to do ballet abroad. You have to go to many countries, you have to pay for all of them yourself. You compete with dancers from all over the world. Every time you say ‘no’ and the door closes in your face, you get very upset. Also, you only make project-based deals. I was intending to open a ballet school here, and at that time, I returned to Istanbul and started acting with the guidance of a family friend that we trust. ‘Avengers’ was shot at the school where I was educated. There were scenes of Scarlett Johansson back to the past in the movie. When they came to the school, they said that they were looking for dancers for the ballet scenes of Johansson’s youth and that they would choose from our school. Then I became one of the chosen ones. It was a small but unforgettable experience. “
First step into acting: He started his television adventure with the series ‘A Part Of Me’.
With which project did she shine? She drew attention with the character of “Melis”, which he portrayed in the “A.K.A Legend” series.
Personality traits: Punctual, hardworking, natural, determined. “Ballet makes a person more disciplined, more self-interested, for reasons such as training the body at a young age, eating right, and getting education longer than normal children. In the training process of ballet, which is a team work as well as an individual, people learn to be harmonious and punctual. For this reason, I am still punctual and hardworking in my life; Because of my respect for myself and my body, I can say that I am a disciplined person in healthy eating. ”
Mindset: She thinks that the biggest investment a woman can make to herself is education. “As there is no end to learning, we see that many young girls miss the education part with the dream of doing business on the screen or on social media, and they do not care. Whatever profession you want to do, I think it is necessary to study in that subject or in a related field. I think it is the biggest investment for young girls to be able to earn their own money without having to look at someone else’s hands. A woman with economic freedom can do the shopping she wishes, travel the world or be interested in any hobby she wants. For this reason, this is all my advice to little girls who follow me on the screen and follow me on social media. Hardware is essential to chase after your dream. A foreign language, a good education and an open mind for self-improvement are really very, very important. ”

Her view of life: She thinks that one should not be too pessimistic in life. “Everyone should find small motivations in their life. Focusing on the positive rather than the negative, dreaming about the days when he felt bad, or dealing with whatever his hobby is, he should turn his focus of thought into a different place. I consult my mother and father on many issues while making my decisions. I trust their counsel. I am someone who has made my decisions by myself for as long as I can remember, but of course I consult with my relatives, especially my family, and weigh and choose accordingly. ”
Her view of business life: She attributes her short lead role on television to her hard work and good luck. “I worked hard, focused on choosing the right projects. I’m here today. The perception that every beautiful person takes the lead or people want to watch the beautiful on TV is no longer. I guess those watching me think that I have a different beauty. ”
Career plan: She modeled for various magazines abroad such as IQ, Vogue and Instyle. She’s been studying acting since the last months of 2014. “To create someone else, to be able to put on what is written, to get applause from the audience; a career I’m just beginning. Learning new things excites me. Making theater passes through my heart. ”
Dream of the Future: Many dreams have been realized since childhood. “I wanted to be a ballerina since I was a kid, I did. I dreamed of training this job abroad and going on the stage somewhere in Europe, I did it. While wishing to teach, I gave free lessons to those in need in churches. In short, I realized most of the things I dreamed of. If I continued abroad as a ballerina, I would love to be dancing in the Modern Dance Troupe with “Nederlands Dance Theater II” or in Matthew Bourne’s modern “Romeo and Juliet”. I think these two ensembles, which are essential for acting, classical ballet and modern dance techniques, do wonders. Both their choreographers and dancers are wonderful; I recommend that those who have the opportunity to watch are on the stage and those who are not, watch it on Youtube. ”
How does she keep his shape? In 2018, she established a pilates center called ‘Pointe Studio’, where he works as a ballet fitness instructor as well as acting. “The rest of my time on set, I do exercise. If I’m in Istanbul, I give ballet and ballet fitness classes in my own studio. I train my body as much as I do sports. We provide ballet, ballet fitness and yoga classes for adults. We accept guests from all walks of life over the age of 16.
What are their maintenance routines? She prefers to use natural products. “My mother is a very well-groomed woman. I look like him in this regard, since I grew up with him. For my skin and hair care, I prefer the products of the brands that have natural product content and do not use chemical materials. I don’t use too much product anyway. Sometimes people may think that being well-groomed is through using too much product. My natural recipe is that I mash a whole avocado, add a little olive oil and apply a mask to my hair. I also use argan oil. I also apply a peeling with coffee grounds on my face once a week. ”
What does she do at home? When she is at home, she likes to cook and pays attention to a healthy diet. “I’m not someone who eats a lot of food or orders home. I love cooking in my kitchen at home. While cooking at home, I keep all vegetables and fruits in vinegar water and consume them after washing them thoroughly. ”
