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.

2014 - Visual Communication Design Graduate
Choosing a university and department creates a great responsibility for every student. Although I had ideas in mind before taking the university exam, I took the time to get to know the universities and departments. I was able to get into many of the public universities and programs that I had in mind, and I never planned to study at a private / foundation university. However, as I researched further, I decided that I should examine universities not only by name, department, city but also in terms of the opportunities they offer, and that my choice would only be correct in this way. And thanks to this mind frame, I met Izmir University of Economics. During the open house, the student mentors were giving a tour around campus for prospective students who came to see and learn about Izmir University of Economics.
