I’m a writer and editor with 6+ years of experience telling stories about identity, memory, and culture.
I hold a PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Edinburgh, where I studied gender and belonging in Istanbul. Before that, I earned an MS in Publishing from NYU, exploring how stories move across formats and people.
In all spaces — academic, editorial, or creative, I write to connect, reflect, and make sense of the world.

My academic work taught me to slow down and write with care — to think critically, but also emotionally. That mix of depth and clarity shows up in everything I write.
Yes. I occasionally work with writers on essays, personal reflections, and early drafts. I focus on giving thoughtful, honest feedback — especially for stories that explore identity or culture.
