Always dreamt of studying Art, saw Branagh's "Hamlet" and instantly realised that I want to study Literature and teach Drama.

Had Art and Acting lessons. Acted and worked for the theatre group "Phoenix" between 2003-2005.

Received my BA (2005), MA (2008) degrees at the department of English Language and Literature with my thesis “Pain and Violence in Three Contemporary English Plays."

Received my PhD (2013) at the same department with my thesis entitled "Trauma on the English Stage: Kane, Ravenhill and Ridley," research for this dissertation is done at the Department of Drama at Queen Mary College, University of London, London.

I was a visiting Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Department of Drama, School of English and Drama, Queen Mary, University of London in 2015.

Currently I am working as an Associate Professor at the Department of English Language and Literature, Istanbul University.

Presented papers on theatre and film at national and international conferences and published articles in various journals and monthly magazines. My area of study covers contemporary British plays and subjects like theatre history, ecofeminism, posthumanism, trauma theory, film and literature, adaptation studies, intertextuality, dystopias, apocalypticism, and violence in drama and literature.

I am also the translator of recent British plays and plays in English since 2007 (The Wonderful World of Dissocia, Product, The Pitchfork Disney, Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat, Some Explicit Polaroids, The Fastest Clock in the Universe, Leaves of Glass, Some Voices) and a translator of Ebru Nihan Celkan's plays (Proje_TX7, Triggerman, Shells with Surprises) and a dramaturg, assistant director, and director for the theatre group buluTiyatro since 2012.
