In My Words
Born in Istanbul on April 12, 2008, into a family of basketball — my father played NCAA Division I at Southeast Missouri State; my mother spent 26 years as a Physical Education teacher.
I picked up a ball at six. Competing at eight. At eleven, I moved my family to Istanbul to join Anadolu Efes — five seasons with one of EuroLeague's most decorated clubs.
In 2024 I transferred to Fenerbahçe Beko. With the U18 team we became Istanbul Champion and finished runner-up at the 2025 National Championship.
Next stop: the United States. The goal is NCAA Division I — and beyond, the NBA.
