: About Me

Born to a Greek mother and Turkish father, I wrote poetry since I was a very young child. I lived in Egypt, France and Brazil, and my fluency in 4 languages has enabled me to read the works of poets in their native languages such as Rumi, Gibran, Paulo Coelho and Rimbaud. I have a Masters degree in International Relations and worked with refugees for many years. Today I live in Los Angeles, California where I home-school my two children in the school of life; a mother, a poet, and a seeker of the divine within.
