About me

View profile
I am a Turkish-Swedish actress. I started her acting career at the age of twelve, in typical fashion, performing in school productions which helped me land roles in community theatre in my hometown of Adana. 

After I graduated as an industrial designer from ITU, I worked in various design disciplines such as graphic, interior and product design. However, as much as design fed my analytical creativity, I always found myself seeking ways back to acting, which I finally decided to pursue as a career in 2017.

I studied Method Acting with acclaimed ActorsStudio teachers Andre Landzaat and Michael Margotta and took Meisner Technique classes with Steven Ditmyer. 

I have been training with Romy Irene on Chubbuck Technique since the beginning of 2022 whilst also discovering other techniques to develop my acting skills further. In addition, I consistently work on my talent by attending workshops and training throughout Europe.  

I am now an experienced actress, getting multiple roles in international films, commercials, and stage productions.

I have solid improvisation skills and a disarming on-screen presence, fully capable of conveying a large variety of emotions.

I speak Swedish, American English, and my native tongue, Turkish. I am as well conversant in Dutch and German. I have a talent for accents and quickly pick up on new languages. Just ask and listen. 

Besides acting, I am a storyteller and international voice-over artist. I am also a certified yoga teacher and love bouldering and playing beach volleyball while dreaming of riding horses.

I am proactive, flexible, open-minded, fun, and dedicated to my craft.
