I graduated from the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering, which I started with a scholarship in 2011, as an honor student in 2016. During my undergraduate education, I had the opportunity to benefit from many different opportunities offered by my university, especially English being the medium of instruction. I had the opportunity to work as a project intern in global companies, as departmental courses offered the opportunity to put theoretical knowledge into practice with project assignments. Having the advantage of being a student of a university that also supports European Union projects and social responsibility projects, I made it to the semi-finals in the EU Youth-In-Action Program, Challenge: Future Global Youth Project Student Project Competition, and I represented my country and university at the summit held in Maribor-Slovenia. The start-up project we developed with my Indian teammate during the week-long summit won first place and won social project and best solution awards. In addition, as a member of the IUE Rhythm Group, I participated in various events, spring festivals and shows. I also learned German at a good level with the second foreign language program. Thanks to all these achievements, shortly after my graduation, I started working as a Project Engineer at Integrated Quality Management Systems and Lean Management Department at the German food company Dr. Oetker Gıda San. ve Tic. A.Ş. During this period, I continued my master's education simultaneously in Dokuz Eylül University Industrial Engineering Master's Program with Thesis. Due to my goal of being an academic, which is my motivation to start graduate education, I decided to apply for Research Assistant position, taking strength from the professional experience that the private sector gave me. Currently, I am working as a Research Assistant at Izmir Democracy University, Department of Industrial Engineering and I am continuing my PhD education. I would like to thank all my valuable professors who supported me in achieving my career goal, who did not spare me their knowledge and experience, my friends who helped me to collect good memories during my university years, and the Izmir University of Economics community.
