I am a former professional ballet dancer turned actress with a successful 20 year career behind me. In recent years I have made a leap into writing and directing. In 2020, I independently produced my first, zero budget, award winning short film - DOGHOUSE. My debut feature film script - AIRBAND - is currently garnering screenwriting accolades. As an Anglo-Turkish, 40 year old woman, I feel it is my duty to write stories which reflect mixed ethnicity Britain, to create strong female characters and to accurately represent women over the age of 40 on stage and screen.
