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.

Büşra Kırmızıoğlu
2009 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
Immediately after graduating with honors in 2009, I completed my academic education in 2011, which I continued at a postgraduate degree in Istanbul. I gained professional experience for 3 years in different advertising and PR agencies in Istanbul. As a result of my application to the lecturing staff opened by YOK in the Rectorate of Pamukkale University in 2017, I was entitled to work as a Public Relations Specialist in this institution. I have been working as the Director of Press and Public Relations since 2019 at the institution where I am still working. Since the very beginning of my career, the most important fact that I learned during my education at Izmir University of Economics and which sheds light on me is the fact that as long as the information was conveyed to people with a correct communication method, that information provided a benefit beyond the meaning acknowledged by the next generation.
