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.

2012 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
I stepped into Izmir University of Economics in 2002 for the first time. I dropped out of school in 2004 due to unexpected sad events. I returned to school in 2009 at the insistence of my family. During this time, I got married and became a mother. Everyone except me believed I could graduate, but I was caught between motherhood and being a student. Then I decided what I really wanted. I was very happy to be a part of Izmir University of Economics.

2017 - International Relations and European Union Graduate
It was one of the best decisions I made to start Izmir University of Economics - Department of International Relations and EU, my first choice, in 2012 with a 100% scholarship. My major gave me an international perspective and a wide range of cultures. I tried to be as active as possible throughout my university life. During my undergraduate education, I gained various internship experiences.

2012 - Computer Engineering Graduate
Izmir University of Economics became the place I missed a lot in a short period of time, the place that I wanted to come back again and again. Without a doubt I missed my University, in which I grew up with the academicians who are experts in their fields, a lot. Think about a place there is no hierarchy, what can I tell, instructors that want to support you all the time, Spanish instructor whose concert we attended to, or head of our department with whom we had tea in the cafeteria together?

2020 - International Trade and Finance Graduate
I started at Izmir University of Economics in 2015 in the Department of International Trade and Finance. Thanks to this program, which provides 100% English education, I gained not only theoretical knowledge, but also a global perspective, critical thinking and analytical competencies. In 2020, I graduated as a high honor student.

2015 - Executive MBA without Thesis Graduate
Our paths crossed with Izmir University of Economics in 2013 thanks to the Executive MBA program I studied. I can say that the fact that the program has up-to-date content for the business world and that the other students participating in the program have different sectors and experiences had a serious impact on my career.
