I graduated from Izmir University of Economics Vocational School Tourism and Hotel Management Program. I have been working as a Corporate Sales Specialist at Rise Group company since December 2019. Izmir University of Economics has contributed a lot to me. I can very well observe the values my school gave me in work life. In addition to the theoretical background I acquired during my education, I had a proactive working life with practical knowledge. The most important reason for me to take a fast step in my career was Izmir University of Economics Vocational School.

2012 - Business Administration Graduate
Year 2007 summer and the last days of the university preference period. Frankly, I remember that I came to Izmir with the suggestions of my two older sisters who were very successful in their careers and school life and who lived in Izmir during the years when I approached private school with a very biased way. They were the first to recommend Izmir University of Economics to me. When I came to the university for the first time, we encountered its orange emblem and brick walls.

2014 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
Life at university is nothing compared to high school or anything else. When I chose Izmir University of Economics in 2009, I asked myself if I made the right decision. 5 years were ahead of me to see if I made the right decision or not. I’ve always tried my best at Izmir University of Economics and became a successful student. I did not qualify for any scholarships when I first enrolled at school but my hard work paid off and I qualified for 50% merit scholarship. In addition to courses in Public Relations and Advertising, I’ve taken many other electives from variety of fields including Business and Software Engineering.

2015 - Supply Chain Management (Dual Diploma Associate Program) Graduate
I graduated from Supply Chain Management Associate Degree Program in 2015. Later, I graduated from Anadolu University Open and Distance Education by completing the Business Administration undergraduate degree. Following that, I worked as an operation documentation officer at Omega Global Logistics, which serves as a forwarder, in order to use the theoretical and practical training I received at Izmir University of Economics.

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.

2010 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
I am proud of saying "I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Public Relations and Advertising" since 2010, when I graduated. Thanks to the quality of education and discipline I received, I could easily adapt to business life as an "IUE graduate". Izmir University of Economics has been a very important business card and reference for me in opening the doors of Hilton Izmir. I started working as an intern in 2008 at Hilton Izmir, where I worked as general manager assistant, administrative affairs & marketing coordinator, and now working as operations coordinator.
