I started my academic life as one of the first students of the university in 2001. Throughout our education life, we have had valuable teachers who have a reputation in their own fields, worked in certain areas of business and taught us to open every door. Izmir University of Economics is a turning point in my life, where I assumed the presidency of the student council in 2005-2006, and in the following years, where I took part in the management of the alumni association for a few years.

2012 - Visual Communication Design Graduate
In 2012, I graduated from Izmir University of Economics-Department of Visual Communication Design with full scholarship and as the top student of the department. Thanks to courses such as applied workshops, we had the chance to visit many advertising agencies and production companies in Istanbul. In this way, the process of finding a job after graduation by establishing a business network became much more efficient. I started working as a field assistant and brand manager at Pozitif Music with the Rock'n Coke festival in 2011. I continued to work here as a freelance until 2015. As of 2012, I started to work as an art director in international advertising agencies (such as 4129Grey, Güzel Sanatlar Saatchi & Saatchi). I was promoted to Senior Art Director in a short time in the advertising industry, which I started as Junior Art Director.

2010 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
I am proud of saying "I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Public Relations and Advertising" since 2010, when I graduated. Thanks to the quality of education and discipline I received, I could easily adapt to business life as an "IUE graduate". Izmir University of Economics has been a very important business card and reference for me in opening the doors of Hilton Izmir. I started working as an intern in 2008 at Hilton Izmir, where I worked as general manager assistant, administrative affairs & marketing coordinator, and now working as operations coordinator.
