Henüz 18 yaşında… Üstündeki terli forma yerine sahalardan uzaklaşarak podyumları seçti. Bunu da en başarılı şekilde 2012 Best Model of the World yarışmasının tacını alarak gerçekleştirdi. İnsanın hayatta istediği doğrultuda severek çalışması çok güzel. Sevgili Sezgi Sena Akay da hayalini gerçekleştirdi. Fakat voleybol oynadığı dönemleri asla unutmuyor. Onunla spor hayatını ve Fenerbahçe Spor Kulübü'nün kendisine neler kattığını ve bundan sonraki hedeflerini konuştuk. Eminim birkaç yıl sonra yine kazandığı başarılardan söz ediyor olacağız. Fenerbahçe ailesi olarak en içten dileklerimizle başarılar dileriz.
