Kezban Hussein Kadirsoy

Kezban obtained her degrees (BA in English and MA in Educational Studies/Modern European Studies) in London, after which she worked as a teacher for a number of years and then as Grant Writer/Co-ordinator on various educational projects.

She has lived and worked in the U.K, Spain, Germany and Turkey and more recently, she made the decision to return to Cyprus, her place of birth.  This was not only in order to enjoy the good weather and beauty of the island but to gain in-depth understanding of its rich heritage in the context of the wider Mediterranean. Her other interests include portrait painting and creative writing.
