I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Economics and International Relations and European Union double major program in 2016. While I was a student, I had the opportunity to do internships in companies such as MSC, Izmir Chamber of Commerce and JTI, with the compulsory internship programs provided by our university. After my graduation, I started to work as an Independent Auditor in the tax department of EY, one of the independent audit firms known as Big4. After 3.5 years at EY, I am working as a Financial Controller at Yusen İnci Logistics, a subsidiary of İnci Holding and Yusen Logistics. The role of my esteemed professors, IEU Career Guidance Center, Career Days and the Master-Apprentice Project in the process of deciding on the sector I want to work in. For this reason, I am always grateful to my IEU family, who not only educate their students academically, but also guide them and prepare them for professional business life.

2009 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
The undergraduate education I started to study at Izmir University of Economics in 2004 has created a solid foundation for me to start my academic career. Thanks to the presentations and assignments we prepared in classes, as well as the encouragement of active participation by all our professors in the Department of International Relations and the European Union, which I studied very fondly, the fact that analytical thinking and questioning became an indispensable part of our learning was reflected in all areas of my life.

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.

The main reasons why I chose our university, which I had the opportunity to get to know better during Career Days, are having a qualified academic staff, providing a second foreign language opportunity and having extensive social opportunities.
