Hi everyone!

I was born in Istanbul. I love my city and I love all the people who come to this ancient city.

I just came back from the United States where I completed my Master of Laws degree. It feels great to be back home! I live in Besiktas that we can call the the downtown of Istanbul

I am a fresh lawyer as a member of Istanbul Bar Association.
I passed the bar exam and became a member of New York State Bar Association too :)

I love traveling and working for social responsibility purposes. I am the founder of a great social responsibility project on children's education equality. For 5 years, I have been working for the project in most of my free times. (Smile to the Future Project: www.instagram.com/gelecegegulumse)

"You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say." It's also my answer about books; anything by Tolkien.
