I was going to say that she has a familiar face and bam, i saw this text:
“We know she was a female, we know she had features associated with dark hair, dark eyes and the interesting thing was when we look at her ancestry 10% of her genes were local Mesolithic hunter gathers but 90% of her genes were from Anatolia [modern day Turkey],” he said.

Yes, she is a modern day Sardinian if her dna is correct. Either way, they are very western-like in general which shows that the ancient anatolian farmers were different from today's population in Anatolia. Mind you, today's Sardinians do have Steppe and WHG but minor. Gairo have zero steppe and Carbonia zero WHG apparently.

Keep in mind 3 population models are somewhat simplistic, the paper on Nuragic DNA has some interesting more proximate models about Sardinians. Carbonia samples after Campidano ones require some sizeable east mediterranean input to be modeled on top of Nuragic one, therefore that may explain the lack of WHG popping up with a simple 3-way mix.
EDIT: To be clear, by simplistic I mean not just the number of ancestral pops, 3, but also the distance in time and space.
