Seray Öztürk Tourism Management Graduate of 2017 I graduated from Antalya Bilim University, Faculty of Tourism, Tourism and Hotel Management Undergraduate Program in 2017. Same year, I've been accepted the Akdeniz University International Tourism Management Master's program (with thesis). I am currently at the thesis stage in this program. With the Erasmus internship mobility, I had the opportunity to do an internship in Spain in 2015. While this experience helped me to improve my Spanish, which I chose as a second language in my undergraduate education; It allowed me to observe the Tourism industry in a country like Spain and add this internship experience to my CV. Currently, I continue my career as Barut Hotels Group CRM & Loyalty Supervisor. As the first graduate of Antalya Bilim University, Faculty of Tourism, besides the time management and presentation skills I gained in my university education; I had the opportunity to make a difference both in my career and in my continuing graduate education with many opportunities such as current course contents, internship opportunities, the opportunity to meet with industry professionals, and business partnerships with big chain hotels. Since we had to produce academic contents in many courses during my undergraduate education, I had the chance to write academic articles even when I was an undergraduate student. I have seen the contribution of this skill when an article I wrote in my graduate program was published in an international academic journal. As one of the first graduates of Antalya Bilim University, Faculty of Tourism, I would like to share my pride of my share in successfully commemorating the names of our university graduates in the sector. I would like to underline that the academic staff of our school also contributed greatly to this.
