My name is Yasmin Doghri, I am 26 years old and I’m Italian with Tunisian origins. I applied to MESCI to pursuit a career as an economist in academics or international organizations. During my Bachelor and Master degree, respectively on International Trade and Business Administration, I had the chance to study and analyze nowadays phenomenon related to poor and emerging economies, which made me strongly passionate about development economics. In this perspective, in fact, both my Bachelor and Master thesis were focus on development matters, particularly on topics such as inequality, migration and poverty in Africa and some Muslim economies. Tackling real life problems with economic tools is something that I am particularly keen on. Therefore, my main ambition is to acquire and improve within the Master my skills and to gain methodical, complete and independent research and study competences useful in a future development-related job position. I believe that true change has a bottom-up approach, and so, I am starting by challenging myself.
