I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Economics in 2009. After graduation, I had four-year experience and expertise at different departments, like Logistics and Sales at Arkas Holding where I performed my internship before. In 2014, I began working as a logistics specialist in Petkim Petrochemical Holding, Turkey's only petrochemical plant. As of 2019, I continue to work as Logistics manager at SOCAR Turkey after a large integration process. I had projects and studies on the use of different transportation models and cost optimization in many areas of logistics, and we continue to develop new ones together with our teammates. I share my experience by mentoring students from IUE. I am proud to be from IUE.
