I have successfully completed my undergraduate degree in Industrial Engineering at University of Tehran, Iran in 3.5 years. After six years of professional work life, I came to Turkey and I successfully graduated from the MBA program of Izmir University of Economics in 2018. I had the opportunity to further improve my English skills, which was at a good level, with my education at Izmir University of Economics. By learning Turkish at the same time, I started to use my skills in three languages also in my professional life in Turkey. In 2020, I joined the Keller Williams Realty group, the world's largest real estate company. With the Keller Williams experience, I took my place in real the estate sector by establishing my company with the name Behboodhomes, which is my own brand. I am currently advising foreign investors as well as Turkish investors on buying and selling. I would like to thank my dear family at Izmir University of Economics.

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.

2009 - Industrial Systems Engineering Graduate
I started my education at Izmir University of Economics in 2005 as one of the first students at Department of Industrial Systems Engineering (now Department of Industrial Engineering). Of course I had doubts about choosing a new department of a relatively young university, but, when I was convinced that the University offered a high quality education system and teaching staff based on the needs of the region and the country, my worries were replaced by a different excitement. In addition to being raised by internationally recognized academics during my 4 year undergraduate education, it was also rewarding to see our department maturing and improving along with us and being a part of it has always been a point where I felt the advantage.
