The Footwear Design and Manufacturing Program, which I chose willingly in 2017 and got into with a 100% scholarship, was one of the best decisions I made for my future. Thanks to the university's facilities, the workshops, fashion shows, "Students Consulting Experts" events, entrepreneurship courses and fairs helped us strengthen our bond with the industry, analyze the market and manage customer relations. I had the opportunity to show my designs and present them to the market thanks to the '2017 IUE Alumni Fashion Show' and '2017 Izmir Shoe Fair', I attended. Thanks to this, I started to work with many famous names and companies such as Demet Akalın and ATV Europe. I am now working as an Executive Assistant at the Güler Shoe Factory. I design for many brands like Ataköy Shoes & Bags, Panucci, Hotiç. Being part of Izmir University of Economics is a source of great pride for me. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed and still provides support to me.

I graduated from Department of Business Administration in 2018, and I work as an Assistant Inspector in the Inspection Board of Denizbank A.Ş. as of July 2018. I graduated from Tarsus American College in 2012 and spent the next 2 years in the United States. The importance of the social skills I gained during my education at Izmir University of Economics, which I started in 2014, in business life is better understood in every scenario.

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 - Business Administration Graduate
When I think back about my life since the day I took the first step at Izmir University of Economics as a student, I always remember the importance of that first step. When I started my education in the Department of Business Administration in 2005, I knew that there was a lot I wanted to do with my interest and enthusiasm, but when I look back now, I did not imagine this much. I think that I spent my undergraduate years as actively as possible, as I decided to spend a period of my education in France with the Erasmus Student Exchange program in the preparatory class.

2020 - Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Graduate
After graduating from high school as a top student in 2015, I chose the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design at Izmir University of Economics for my undergraduate education. During my undergraduate study, I performed internships in various companies and worked part-time. I graduated in 2020. I gained work experience in the field of interior architecture and furniture. As of 2021, I am pursuing my master's degree with thesis in the field of Design Studies at Izmir University of Economics. The most important reason why I chose this field is that I could focus on the subject I wanted to research with a multidisciplinary approach. Thanks to the courses I took during my master's education, I made an attempt that I had dreamed of for a long time.
