2012 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
I stepped into Izmir University of Economics in 2002 for the first time. I dropped out of school in 2004 due to unexpected sad events. I returned to school in 2009 at the insistence of my family. During this time, I got married and became a mother. Everyone except me believed I could graduate, but I was caught between motherhood and being a student. Then I decided what I really wanted. I was very happy to be a part of Izmir University of Economics.

2012 - Software Engineering Graduate
This profession group is unlike any other profession group. Once you love it, once you have a taste of problem solving, you can always ask for more. These are my current thoughts, of course. It is a very classic story about this profession, in daily life you are often asked "this computer needs formatting, can you help?". Everything started this way for me as well. I spent all my summer holidays before university working at my cousins' computer shop. I had one goal, majoring about the computer!

2012 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
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.
