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.

2015 - Department of Media and Communications Graduate
“The class newspaper we published in elementary school and the small plays I wrote and staged were my first steps toward an interest in the world of communication. This curiosity gradually turned into a passion and led me to the Department of Media and Communication at Izmir University of Economics. Thanks to the strong academic staff and modern studio facilities, my university years became one of the most valuable periods that shaped my career.
