Director Biography

I was grew up in a modest family surrounded by love. Later I worked for Toyota. I started at the project level of the manufacturing plant establishment in Turkey and went on to work in various quality assurance functions in Turkey, Japan and Belgium. One of my biggest gains has been the great experience I had while working and growing up with a great team.

Now my passion is working on projects with a social dimension. Here I combine my experience in quality management with a lifelong passion in the creative arts. This includes film making, interviews and column writing. Additionally, I have been involved in volunteer activities especially related to immigration.

Currently I study Film at Luca School of Arts in Brussels. A second life for me.

My hobbies? Reading, photography, walking… The most important thing is friends and spending good time together.
