I got into Department of Industrial Engineering with full scholarship in 2007 and graduated in 2012. Having the opportunity to take a course at the Vaasan Yliopista - University of Vaasa in Finland with Erasmus for a semester has contributed a lot to both my personal development and my resume. The medium of instruction being English at the University and being offered an education quality at international standards helped me adapt to the Erasmus process in a short time. Thanks to the summer internships required by our department, it was a great opportunity to get to know the business life and to step into engineering in the first years of the University. After my graduation, I worked as an engineer at Japan Tobacco International and Fokker GKN companies. Now, I work as a Production Controller at Amcor Specialty Cartons, which is also a global company, and I support the Finance Department on cost analysis part-time.

2010 - Industrial Design Graduate
I graduated from Design Management Option, Department of Industrial Design, Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, Izmir University of Economics in 2010. Thanks to the design management option available only at my university in our country, learning not only the creativity side of the design but also the business world side of it made me very competitive in the labor market. So much so that I can think as a business administrator, a marketer and a public relations specialist and communicate with them in a technical sense, thanks to the interdisciplinary lessons we have studied and friends from different departments I met in these courses.

That summer, I performed my internship as an interior designer at an architectural firm in Sheffield and took part in large-scale hospital projects.
