I am a 23-year-old setter from Istanbul, Turkey. I have been playing volleyball since I was 9. I started my volleyball journey at Fenerbahçe, one of the most successful volleyball teams in Turkey and worldwide, and continued my career there until college. During my undergrad, I played for Seattle University; for the final year of my eligibility, I transferred to the University of San Francisco to pursue a master’s degree and compete in the WCC. Throughout my collegiate years, as I gained more experience, my love and passion for the game continued to deepen, and I am excited to take it to the next level and play professionally.
