I am a videojournalist, producer and text reporter based in Istanbul. I have worked with the Associated Press' Istanbul bureau since 2019. My duties with the AP ranged from field camera work for TV to text reporting for print. During the last few years, I have covered the last two elections, the Kahramanmaras earthquake and the many top stories in between. I have both shot and produced hundreds of TV stories both for AP and local channels, provided lives for clients and have some print exclusives under my belt. Stories I have produced, shot, and written have been seen by millions of news consumers around the world. I look forward to working with you!
