Family: She was born and raised in Istanbul. She has an older sister.
Childhood years: She says her childhood was very good. “I had a good childhood. I grew up in a lush complex with a group of 8 friends, far from the city. I was first enrolled in a course in the 10th grade. Then we made an agreement with Gaye Sökmen Agency, which I still work with, and I continued my journey with the trainings I received.”
Education life: She graduated from Private Şişli Terakki High School. She then studied acting in private agencies. She completed the Professional Acting course at Dialog Lecture Communications. She continues her education at Bilgi University Cinema Department. She also speaks advanced English. She continues to study acting at the Craft Acting Workshop, which she started in February 2016.
A turning point in her life: It all started while watching Harry Potter, her childhood favorite movie, which she fell in love with. “I was watching the movie as if I was playing it. I guess that’s how the idea first settled in my mind, and then it always stayed there. When I went to high school, I started taking trainings and going to courses. Even though we stayed up until the mornings when appropriate, I never got bored or tired in those courses, on the contrary, I always felt alive. I love this job.”
The first step into acting: She started her television adventure in 2021 with the character of ‘Aybike’, which she played in the TV series Kardeşlerim (My Brothers), and was recognized by a wide audience with her first role.
Personality traits: Has a personality that cannot tolerate injustice.
Social: She usually spends her time off the set at her school.
Mindset: She doesn’t accept the fact of failure.
A source of happiness: It is one of the greatest sources of happiness to act together with many experienced actors in her first project, Kardeşlerim.
Her outlook on life: She believes in the power of ‘discovery’ in life. “I still can’t say I’ve found myself. But the point is to be on that road anyway. Asking questions, trying to find the right question. It’s still foggy and cloudy in front of me. But I’m sure about this, the more you keep asking questions, the more the smokescreen will lift.”
Perspective on business life: She says she wanted to be an actress for as long as she knew herself. She is into music as a hobby.
Career plan: She wants to portray a difficult and evil character.
Future Dream: There is no top spot in her career because she states that she doesn’t want what she wanted 2 years ago, now.
Who she admires: She follows the actresses Merve Dizdar and Ezgi Mola, who starred in the TV series Masumlar Apartmanı (Innocent Apartments), with admiration.
Beauty routine: She is not someone who wears a lot of makeup in daily life. She prefers to be natural.
