2015 - Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Graduate
I entered this program, which was my first choice, as a full scholarship holder. I successfully passed the preparatory exam in 2011 and started my freshman year when I was only 17. I started to work as a freelance interior designer since 2012. In the third year of my undergraduate education, I decided to spend a semester at the University of Sheffield Hallam in England with the Erasmus agreement IUE is included in. After studying a semester here, I completed the 3rd grade at IUE. That summer, I performed my internship as an interior designer at an architectural firm in Sheffield and took part in large-scale hospital projects. At the same time, by continuing my freelance works, I completed many interior architecture projects in Russia, China, America and England.

2008 - International Relations and EU Graduate
I graduated from the Department of International Relations and EU in 2008 as a high honor student. At the same time, I completed the minor program in International Economics by using the opportunities provided by my university, and I had the opportunity to study for 6 months in the field of European Studies at Maastricht University in the Netherlands as part of the Erasmus program. In my last year, I was just entering the finals when I received a job offer from Ernst & Young (EY) Company that I applied for to start after my graduation.

2009 - Industrial Systems Engineering Graduate
I started my education at Izmir University of Economics in 2005 as one of the first students at Department of Industrial Systems Engineering (now Department of Industrial Engineering). Of course I had doubts about choosing a new department of a relatively young university, but, when I was convinced that the University offered a high quality education system and teaching staff based on the needs of the region and the country, my worries were replaced by a different excitement. In addition to being raised by internationally recognized academics during my 4 year undergraduate education, it was also rewarding to see our department maturing and improving along with us and being a part of it has always been a point where I felt the advantage.

2018 - Business Administration Graduate
I graduated from Department of Business Administration in 2018, and I work as an Assistant Inspector in the Inspection Board of Denizbank A.Ş. as of July 2018. I graduated from Tarsus American College in 2012 and spent the next 2 years in the United States. The importance of the social skills I gained during my education at Izmir University of Economics, which I started in 2014, in business life is better understood in every scenario.
