It was one of the best decisions I made to start Izmir University of Economics - Department of International Relations and EU, my first choice, in 2012 with a 100% scholarship. My major gave me an international perspective and a wide range of cultures. I tried to be as active as possible throughout my university life. During my undergraduate education, I gained various internship experiences.

Year 2007 summer and the last days of the university preference period. Frankly, I remember that I came to Izmir with the suggestions of my two older sisters who were very successful in their careers and school life and who lived in Izmir during the years when I approached private school with a very biased way. They were the first to recommend Izmir University of Economics to me. When I came to the university for the first time, we encountered its orange emblem and brick walls.

While trying to decide on the field where I can use my skills in the best way after the university exam, I saw the newspaper advertisement of Izmir University of Economics, Department of Software Engineering. I was very excited by the idea of ​​developing my interest, which started when I first saw the black and white computer screen at the age of seven, by getting the right education.

I got into Izmir University of Economics Faculty of Communication, Department of Media and Communication with full scholarship, as my first choice in 2006. Almost everyone around me asked why I did not choose another school in Istanbul, that I would get into that school anyway. I never wanted to leave Izmir and I think the best place to get education in Izmir was Izmir University of Economics.
