Ayse Ozlem Yilmaz Author

As a medical doctor, Ayse Ozlem Yilmaz has spent more than a decade working as an advisor within the pharmaceutical industry on projects aimed to treat and cure children’s diseases. Born and raised in Turkiye, she moved to the UK with her husband and young daughter in 2018. 
 
Observing her daughter’s experiences learning English in a new school and her own experiences of working with refugee agencies, Ayse was inspired to write a story for children and families who are navigating the challenges of adjusting to new environments and forming new friendships. 
 
The Long Garden Detective is her first book.
