I’m Sıla, a Turkish business student who feels at home meeting new people and figuring out unfamiliar places. Each semester takes me to a different country, where I get to know the market, build connections, and put ideas to the test.
Growth and business development bring together what I enjoy most: understanding people, spotting opportunities, and making things happen. Beyond work, you’ll find me learning languages, joining Erasmus+ projects, and volunteering.
At Tetr College of Business, I study business by building ventures in a different country each semester. My degree combines classroom learning with hands-on projects, local market experience, and learning alongside international teams.
