I graduated from Izmir University of Economics Psychology program in 2022. Thanks to the advanced level of English skills that the school gave me, I started to realize my dream of doing a master's degree abroad, which has always been my dream. I have collected the poems in English and Turkish that I wrote while studying on the one hand and thanks to my improving English on the other hand, in a book called "Histerik Kahkaha (Hysterical Laughter)". Thanks to the scientific infrastructure of the school, I would like to crown this program, which I studied with pleasure, with a doctorate in the future.

2012 - Visual Communication Design Graduate
In 2012, I graduated from Izmir University of Economics-Department of Visual Communication Design with full scholarship and as the top student of the department. Thanks to courses such as applied workshops, we had the chance to visit many advertising agencies and production companies in Istanbul. In this way, the process of finding a job after graduation by establishing a business network became much more efficient. I started working as a field assistant and brand manager at Pozitif Music with the Rock'n Coke festival in 2011. I continued to work here as a freelance until 2015. As of 2012, I started to work as an art director in international advertising agencies (such as 4129Grey, Güzel Sanatlar Saatchi & Saatchi). I was promoted to Senior Art Director in a short time in the advertising industry, which I started as Junior Art Director.

I never taught about leaving Izmir after I graduated from high school. I wanted to attend a high-quality university to help me steer my future in the right direction and keep my current lifestyle intact. Izmir University of Economics served this purpose perfectly. I graduated in 2007 from a university which helped me build rock-solid friendships in addition to providing me with extensive knowledge and experience very much needed for my career.

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.
