She is a peace worker from Ankara, Turkey. She began her career in journalism and in 2013 she covered the Gezi Park Movement as a freelance journalist in alternative media and international press. She was a graduate degree student in Peace and Conflict Studies Hacettepe University’s Istanbul branch from 2014 to 2017, where she was taught, among others, by Johan Galtung, Jorgen Johansen, Stellan Vinthagen, Oliver Richmond, Norman Finkelstein, Joshua Weiss, Wolfgang Dietrich, Gal Harmat, Kai Frithjof Brand-Jacobsen, Zeki Ergaş, Tatsushi Arai and Amr Khairy Abdalla. Hacettepe University shut down the department in 2015 but she obtained a graduate degree with the thesis subject being ‘Identity-based Conflicts in between Resistance Groups during the Gezi Movement’. Since graduating from Hacettepe University in 2017, she was able to gain experience, inspire transformers and realise projects. As a trained peace-worker, she has been invited to present new ideas at international conferences and did interventions on the level of established organizations as well as in inter-personal or inter-group conflicts. In her academic and practical approaches, she works for the creation of new social structures and implementation of state-of-the-art scientific solutions. In Wuppertal she founded the concept of nature-based micro-level peacebuilding methods that can be integrated into the real world. She cares deeply about a shared understanding of mutual respect. Above all, it is also important to her to take responsibility for future generations.
