I started in 2002 and graduated in 2007. I had tremendous knowledge and experience in addition to long lasting friendships. I learned the best from the best teachers and being still in touch with them today makes my university step forward in my work life. I started my professional life in 2010 at DİMES, a leading fruit juice and Milk Company in Turkey, as Distribution Manager and Chain Stores Manager. In 2013, I transferred to TÜRK HENKEL Kimya San. Ve Tic. AŞ, a leading name in fast moving consumer goods, Key Account Manager. I consistently feel the quality of education I received in both my personal and work life.
