Today, the understanding of "knowledge is power" has been replaced by the understanding of "using knowledge is power". In this direction, Izmir University of Economics has adopted an education approach that not only equips its students with knowledge, but also allows the acquired knowledge to be used in real life. With this education approach, the education I received in an academic environment that brings global thinking to the fore, that is open to change and innovation, flexible, adopting universal values, and the social opportunities offered by the university made great contributions to both my advancing academic life and my business life. I completed my master's degree in the field of European Studies at Bonn University after Izmir University of Economics. I started my career as an Assistant Specialist at Halkbank and continue as a specialist at the General Directorate of Foreign Relations, Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Services.
