While trying to decide on the field where I can use my skills in the best way after the university exam, I saw the newspaper advertisement of Izmir University of Economics, Department of Software Engineering. I was very excited by the idea of developing my interest, which started when I first saw the black and white computer screen at the age of seven, by getting the right education. Our work, which we started with Kabaq.io in New York in 2015, continues today with our team of 25 people in Izmir Bilimpark Technopark, within the Glimpse Group, which is listed as VRAR on Nasdaq.

2017 - Architecture Graduate
In 2013, 19 years since my birth in Germany, I decided to settle in Izmir, Turkey by getting an "Abitur" diploma. Attending a university in Turkey, being useful to my country and people was my biggest dream since I was little. I started to realize this dream with "Izmir University of Economics". The main reasons for me to choose Izmir University of Economics were the successful education staff as well as the medium of education being completely English.

2012 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
When I entered Izmir University of Economics in 2007, where the medium of instruction is English, my English level was not at the beginner level. Thanks to the English Preparatory Program at Izmir University of Economics School of Foreign Languages, I successfully completed the English preparatory class in 1 year. In 2011, we visited leading advertising agencies and Corporate Communications units of corporate companies in Istanbul, which is the center of the media, communication and advertising sectors, within the scope of the industry trip in the 3rd grade. I had the opportunity to meet professionals in Istanbul and sent my resume for internship application.
