“I chose International Business and Economics because it perfectly combines my passions for international relations, economics, and diplomacy. During my undergraduate studies in economics, I did an internship at the Romanian Parliament, and later I was honorary advisor to a Member of Parliament and organized or participated in programs run with the support of the European Commission or the European Parliament. These experiences contributed to obtaining a Fulbright grant from the U.S. Department of State and a grant from the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Washington, D.C. to fully fund my studies at the institution founded by one of the former U.S. presidents, George H. W. Bush.”
