I graduated from Izmir University of Economics Foreign Trade Program in 2017 with a GPA of 3.10. After graduation, I started to work at Ven Group company in line with the information I gained on the subjects such as customer-focused, foreign market studies, etc. at the companies I worked at before and after my school life. At the same time, I started to study at the department of International Trade and Logistics. As a member of Ven Group family, I am currently working on especially domestic and international offers, pre-sales and post-sales support, project studies, construction site exploration and controls, progress payment arrangements.

started to study at Department of Industrial Systems Engineering in 2008 and graduated in 2012. Izmir University of Economics, with all it has to offer, is a university where a student can improve in different areas and receive the best quality education. I had the best four years of studying there academically and socially. I benefitted from everything the University offered to the best of my ability. I spent a semester at “Baden Württemberg Corporate State University” in Germany in 2011 as part of Erasmus Student Exchange Program.

2012 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
I started my undergraduate study in Tourism Management at Dokuz Eylül University in 2004. But three years have passed by the time I started to make different plans for my future. I can honestly say that taking the OSS exam again and being admitted to Izmir University of Economics has been a turning point in my life even though I have lost all that time. A real milestone…If I haven’t done that I would be engaged in a profession I really did not enjoy. Instead, I am working as a Comptroller at Ministry of Finance.

Today, the understanding of "knowledge is power" has been replaced by the understanding of "using knowledge is power".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.

2006 - Business Administration Graduate
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.
