Adım Merve Yıldız. İstanbul da doğdum 29 yaşındayım. Selçuk Üniversitesi Türk dili edebiyatı mezunuyum. Profesyonel olarak 5 yıldır tiyatro yapıyorum. Sonbahara doğru filminde başrol oynadım. Yönetmenlik maceram eğitim verdiğim öğrencilerin isteğiyle oluştu. Yazma kabiliyetim okuduğum bölümle de alakalı hep vardı. Sonra yönetmenlik alanında kendimi geliştirdim. Eğitimler aldım. Aslında edebiyat öğretmenliği yapabilirim. Ama sanatı çok seviyorum.
