What experiences make you a great ambassador?

I am a very welcoming person, and I am dedicated to making the transition smoother for Spanish students entering our university program. My involvement in the MIMSA Education team has granted me valuable experience in addressing and resolving the various challenges that students commonly encounter throughout their studies. Moreover, my current role as MIMSA Vice-President has given me more skills in tackling these issues effectively.

I am a very outgoing person and always ready to answer all questions from both students and families.

What advice would you give to new students?

One of the best pieces of advice I can offer is to enjoy every moment of your first year in university. First year is something that we all wish to go back to. You meet so many people, you start living alone in another county and acquire so much knowledge. So yes, my advice is definitely to enjoy every moment you spend here, from every party to every day in the library.

University can be both exciting and challenging, but don't let fear hold you back. Approach it with confidence, knowing that you have already demonstrated the necessary skills and capabilities to succeed

And I would include here: “Balance is key to success”.

What do you love most about Brno?

Brno is such a beautiful city that will make you feel embraced from the moment you reach the center of the city. There are so many students, so many libraries to choose from, numerous cultural and sports activities, amazing restaurants and bars…

Something else that I like about Brno is how well-connected with many capitals of Europe, like Prague, Vienna, Bratislava… I am very thankful to be able to catch a train in the morning to visit Prague throughout the day and come back to Brno at night!
