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.

Büşra Kırmızıoğlu
2009 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
Immediately after graduating with honors in 2009, I completed my academic education in 2011, which I continued at a postgraduate degree in Istanbul. I gained professional experience for 3 years in different advertising and PR agencies in Istanbul. As a result of my application to the lecturing staff opened by YOK in the Rectorate of Pamukkale University in 2017, I was entitled to work as a Public Relations Specialist in this institution. I have been working as the Director of Press and Public Relations since 2019 at the institution where I am still working. Since the very beginning of my career, the most important fact that I learned during my education at Izmir University of Economics and which sheds light on me is the fact that as long as the information was conveyed to people with a correct communication method, that information provided a benefit beyond the meaning acknowledged by the next generation.
İdil Aktıhanoğlu
2011 - Fashion Design Graduate
Even though I was in Science-Mathematics department in high school and planned to become an engineer, I realized that I could not do a job I did not like my whole life. I had a change of mind in my senior year in high school , and I chose Department of Fashion Design of Izmir University of Economics. I did not have any idea about fashion design before, I consulted famous designers. I proved them right at the end of 4 years with the contributions of my school. There were many opportunities that my school provided me with during the school period.
