My name is Romina and I am from Bulgaria. I finished my Bachelor's Degree in Politics and International Relations in the University of Aberdeen, UK and did an Erasmus year in SciencesPo, Lyon, France. What inspired me to follow the path of International Development studies was my placement in Accra, Ghana last summer. I was volunteering to support SMEs in the capital of the country and gained precious knowledge from this experience. After I finished it I decided that I want to dedicate my time working to support vulnerable communities. I believe MESCI programme will give me the right tools to develop myself professionally in the sphere of international economics and development.
