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.

2015 - Economics Graduate
I got into Department of Economics, Izmir University of Economics with a full scholarship in 2010. 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. After a year of preparatory study and improving my level of English, which was at the most basic level, I started doing a double major in Mathematics in the second year of my undergraduate education.

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.

2009 - Industrial Systems Engineering Graduate
I started my education at Izmir University of Economics in 2005 as one of the first students at Department of Industrial Systems Engineering (now Department of Industrial Engineering). Of course I had doubts about choosing a new department of a relatively young university, but, when I was convinced that the University offered a high quality education system and teaching staff based on the needs of the region and the country, my worries were replaced by a different excitement. In addition to being raised by internationally recognized academics during my 4 year undergraduate education, it was also rewarding to see our department maturing and improving along with us and being a part of it has always been a point where I felt the advantage.

2010 - Visual Communication Design Graduate
Observing that the sector does not provide me with the personal development and conditions I want in Istanbul after I graduated, I decided to progress in a different sector that produces digital displays – project designing and content production. I had the opportunity to work closely with media purchasing and internal communication departments of different corporate companies in the Digital Signage sector, which allows me to improve myself on display technologies.
