Summary
I am a dedicated and passionate actor from Turkey, currently based in Dublin, Ireland. My performing arts journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Acting from Anadolu University, where I developed strong skills in movement-based storytelling and stage presence. With a focus on creating multidimesional characters and expansive story worlds, I have expanded my creative focus to screenwriting and am currently working on a TV series project. I aim to enrich artistic projects with depth and authenticity.
