She took up shooting Para sport in 2004 in Giresun, Turkey. (hurriyet.com.tr, 17 Nov 2015)

Her friends encouraged her to get involved in the sport. "I was afraid to go out before [practising sports]. There was a lot of helpful people around me on my way out. My self-confidence came when I started sports. I can wander down the street and go to the park or the garden whenever I want, even without the help of anyone."

General
BEGINNER'S GOLD
She won gold at her first competition in 2004 in Giresun, Turkey. She said the result convinced her to pursue shooting Para sport. "I entered the competition on the insistence of my friends, with the idea that there should be a female athlete in the competition. I didn't know how to shoot properly at the time. They showed many options for the competition, and I started shooting with the help of my coaches. The referee asked why I did not warm up, and I said that I was just waiting. When I was told that I would be disqualified if I didn't shoot at all, I looked at the gun. It wasn't like a normal pistol, when I was told where to put the bullets, the referee couldn't believe what he saw. I came out first on the result. Everyone congratulated and from that day the sport shooting started." (fanatik.com.tr, 03 Dec 2018; skor.sozcu.com.tr, 18 May 2017)
