What experiences make you a great ambassador? 

Firstly, having lived in an international environment for more than 7 years, I am able to understand problems, that newcomers can face choosing a path of international students, and help them smoothly adapt. Moreover, I know what it means to move to an absolutely new city and to start from the beginning. As I have done it more than 4 times, I can always give advice and help to choose the correct path. Lastly, my experience at Masaryk University makes me a good ambassador. Having done my undergraduate and being in the process of my graduate degree in IR and EP, I can fully open up our university to those who are interested in it.

What advice would you give to new students?

There is nothing to be afraid of- pursuing your interest will surround you with like- minded people and open up a lot of new paths to the dream.

What do you love most about Brno?

I have been living in Brno for 4 years and I still keep appreciating beauty and hospitality of this city. It provides a lot of opportunities for a great career development and social life at the same time.​
