Since my childhood, I have always expressed myself best through writing. My interest in reading, writing and expressing emotions properly led me to decide to study for a BA in Comparative Literature and an MA in Cultural Studies. While examining works from many different countries and cultures, my curiosity for the world of celebrities and magazines was always the part that kept me alive, along with all this seriousness. I have been a magazine editor for about five years and have been working as a magazine editor at Onedio for the last year and a half. As long as my Onedio adventure continues, I hope to produce sincere, entertaining and eye-catching content with all the tiny details you can think of, like chatting with women!
