Gonca Bağlar

I took my first step to psychology department, field I was dying to study at since middle school, in 2008 at Izmir University of Economics as my third choice. After completing a successful five-year education with full scholarship, I graduated as Honor Student in 2013. On my first day at school, I said to myself, “What am I doing here?” I’ve always though different about private schools, and never thought I would study at one until the last day.

I am proud of saying "I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Public Relations and Advertising" since 2010, when I graduated. Thanks to the quality of education and discipline I received, I could easily adapt to business life as an "IUE graduate". Izmir University of Economics has been a very important business card and reference for me in opening the doors of Hilton Izmir. I started working as an intern in 2008 at Hilton Izmir, where I worked as general manager assistant, administrative affairs & marketing coordinator, and now working as operations coordinator.

I started the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Izmir University of Economics in 2012. During my undergraduate education I encountered many opportunities to gain experience in the field of renewable energy with the project work I participated in, voluntary and compulsory internships, and in addition, I took an active responsibility in different social innovation programs for 3 years at YGA - Young Guru Academy.

I started my undergraduate study in Tourism Management at Dokuz Eylül University in 2004.  But three years have passed by the time I started to make different plans for my future. I can honestly say that taking the OSS exam again and being admitted to Izmir University of Economics has been a turning point in my life even though I have lost all that time. A real milestone…If I haven’t done that I would be engaged in a profession I really did not enjoy. Instead, I am working as a Comptroller at Ministry of Finance.
