Born in Northern Virginia in 1999 and raised in Türkiye, I received my B.A. in Political Science from Bilkent University in Ankara, which first led me to the University of Glasgow in Scotland, and later to an M.S. from KU Leuven in Belgium.

I'm currently a PhD candidate at CEU in Vienna, and while I also work as an Analyst in the tech sector, photography allows me to remain creative in an era of consumption.

I hope the work you see here resonates with you in some way.
