When I was about to graduate from the Occupational Health and Safety Program in 2022, I started my internship at Ateş Wind Power facility with the reference of my teacher Aydın Aktuğ. Later, I was hired as a staff. I am still working as a Health and Safety Technician at Ateş Wind Power Zeytindağ factory. When I started to do my professional job as an IUE graduate, I was fully prepared for what I was going to do, thanks to our professors who worked both academically and professionally. Because I realized that we graduated as having learned both the theoretical part and the experience and operational side of the profession.

When I started my education at Department of International Trade and Finance, which was my first choice, in 2005 I understood a new life was ahead of me. After spending a year abroad, I thought everything would be different, and everything turned out the way I wanted.

2016 - Software Engineering Graduate
Our paths crossed with Izmir University of Economics in 2012 when I started my education life in Software Engineering with a full scholarship. Thanks to the quality education I received from the valuable academics and the two foreign languages provided by the University, I had the chance to equip myself at the best possible way. In addition to two compulsory internships, I also performed one voluntary internship. In my last compulsory internship, I was accepted by the Vestel R&D Center and had a productive internship experience of 1 month in the Testing department. In 2016, I was selected to Havelsan's Cyber Security Summer School Program and successfully completed the program.

2010 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
I am proud of saying "I graduated from Izmir University of Economics, Department of Public Relations and Advertising" since 2010, when I graduated. Thanks to the quality of education and discipline I received, I could easily adapt to business life as an "IUE graduate". Izmir University of Economics has been a very important business card and reference for me in opening the doors of Hilton Izmir. I started working as an intern in 2008 at Hilton Izmir, where I worked as general manager assistant, administrative affairs & marketing coordinator, and now working as operations coordinator.
