I graduated from the Department of Translation and Interpretation as a High Honor student, where I studied with a merit scholarship. I also had the chance to graduate from two departments at the same time by doing a double major in Department of International Relations and EU. The education I received at the University, my second foreign language, which increased with the French education I received at Manchester University of Salford, the internship I performed at the Ministry of European Union and many international projects I took part in played an important role in shaping my career plans. I had the opportunity to find a job shortly after graduation. I had work experience first at Logo Software company and then at Japan Tobacco International (JTI). Currently, I have been working at Apple for more than 7 years as a Senior Consultant for Ireland. Considering the opportunities, I think it is a good decision to be a student of Izmir University of Economics.
