Open to opportunities
I am a dynamic double degree student doing a M.Sc. in Innovation Management - Economics & Business Administration at Copenhagen Business School and the CEMS Master's in International Management. My CEMS exchange semester took place at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. I have work experience from diverse organizations and I particularly enjoy qualitative and quantitative research and analysis for strategic decision making and business development. Furthermore, I am passionate about making a positive difference in the world through sustainable initiatives and active citizenship, which has led me to volunteering with refugees and developing the mentorship program Student Refugees Buddies. I am born and raised in Denmark and have considerable international work and study experience from Asia, the Middle East and Europe. I am looking for full-time graduate positions starting in the fall of 2019 or beginning of 2020.
