2015 - Economics Graduate
Since my early teenage years, I have had a keen interest in understanding poverty and world development. I’d always wanted to study an interdisciplinary subject, which provided real-world learning, and I think, I could not have made a better choice than to study economics. Based on an outstanding high school transcript and great results in the university entrance examinations, many universities accepted me to their undergraduate programs. I decided to accept a full scholarship offer from the Izmir University of Economics.

2021 - İşletme Graduate
I started studying Business Administration with a full scholarship in 2016. The reason why I chose this university was because I believed that it would offer me many opportunities. It did as I expected. First of all, I received a high quality English education. I was given the opportunity to learn a second foreign language in addition to English and I started learning Russian. Since there was an opportunity to do a double major, I started to study Law along with Business Administration.

In my first year at Izmir University of Economics, I started to improve myself not only academically but also socially by taking advantage of the numerous opportunities that the school has offered. When I was working at the Student Affairs unit of the University, I visited high schools in different cities with our esteemed educators and represented our school.
