I always knew I wanted to live in Los Angeles.
So I do!
Originally I was born in Hawaii to an American diplomat and a Turkish coder. I lived in New York for 7 years and then moved to Los Angeles in 2020. I have a lot of different skills and I’m not very good at talking about myself but if you click down below you’ll find my LinkedIn and my “professional bio.” Enjoy!
