I graduated from Department of Computer Engineering in 2009. After graduation, I started my career at Abdi İbrahim pharmaceutical company. After working here for 2 years, I started working as a manager at Vatan Bilgisayar. I continued my career as a Store Manager at Vatan Bilgisayar for 7 years. I accepted a job offer in October 2021 and started my new job as a senior manager at Sonçağ Palet, a family company founded in 1940. I was able to generate different ideas in business life, especially thanks to the analytical mindset I had gained during my university education. This has been the biggest factor in my rapid rise in my career. I am still meeting with my graduate friends working in different sectors, which makes me happy, frankly. I am so glad to have studied at Izmir University of Economics.

2013 - Business Administration for Executives Graduate
I was born in 1976 in Eskişehir. I came to Izmir because I got into the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Dokuz Eylul University at the age of 18, and after graduation, I decided to continue my life in Izmir. Izmir, with its people and nature, is a city where I feel comfortable, where we live in peace with my family, and I hope it always stays like this.

2011 - Media and Communication Graduate
It feels like yesterday the first time I entered the University. All that excitement, worry, curiosity… A school that intersects different cultures and embraces them all. I graduated from Department of Media and Communication Systems, Faculty of Communication in 2011. I had the opportunity to perform an internship at DHA and Izmir Chamber of Commerce because of my experience in personal development, practical assignments, and presentations, as well as my active involvement in social responsibility projects, in addition to theoretical knowledge I learned throughout my education. At the same time, it was a great advantage for me that language of instruction was English and the opportunity to choose a second foreign language.

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.
