I enrolled in the Department of Software Engineering of Izmir University of Economics with a full scholarship in 2012. Even though the software engineering program was new in universities at that time, I started with enthusiasm with the encouragement of my brother and uncle. Many courses I took from engineering and other departments trained me to be a good engineer.  With the second foreign language opportunity offered by the University, I had the opportunity to learn Spanish, which I always wanted to learn. Later, I started the Computer Games Certificate Program in the 3rd grade and had the opportunity to improve myself in this field. In the summer of the year I graduated, I went to Szeged, Hungary to perform an internship in the field of software testing, taking advantage of the Erasmus Program.

I received my bachelor’s with a major in Architecture and a minor in Interior Architecture and Environmental Design from the Izmir University of Economics (IUE) in 2015. The most important factors that led me to select IUE was the distinguished professors, the courses being taught in English, and the opportunity to choose Italian as my 2nd foreign language during my degree. Thanks to my minor degree, I was selected to do an internship in Japan where I gained valuable experience and connections with professionals from different cultures and backgrounds. After graduating, I worked in the design, tender and construction phases of the retail and housing projects in FMB Architecture, Construction, and Project Management.

I graduated from 'Tourism and Hotel Management' as an Honor Student and Top Student in the Department in 2006. The experience I gained in the Anemon Hotels group, where I worked while I was studying, opened the doors of The Marmara Hotel in Istanbul - Taksim as soon as I graduated. After working there for a year, I left my job to work in a chain hotel in the Alps of Switzerland.

I graduated from the Department of International Relations and EU in 2008 as a high honor student. At the same time, I completed the minor program in International Economics by using the opportunities provided by my university, and I had the opportunity to study for 6 months in the field of European Studies at Maastricht University in the Netherlands as part of the Erasmus program. In my last year, I was just entering the finals when I received a job offer from Ernst & Young (EY) Company that I applied for to start after my graduation.
