My university life, which started at Izmir University of Economics in 2004, ended with my graduation in 2009. After completing my military service, I gained 1 year of commercial experience in the family business retail sector. To put into practice what university education has given me, I started to work as an import and export manager for 3 years in a company called Dirmak Makina in Izmir. At the end of 2013, I decided to move to Sweden to start a family. After 1 year of intensive Swedish language training, at the beginning of 2015, I started to work as an import export manager at Sydsvensk Form Reklam AB company, of which I am a 50% partner today.
