My name is Amanda, I am the Student Career Ambassador for VUB for this academic year. Although Brussels has been my home for the last 2 years, I am originally from Italy, where my passions for politics and social issues first took root. These interests led me to Belgium to pursue my bachelor’s in social sciences at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, where I’m currently in my final year.
This is my third year as SCA and I am very excited to get to represent my university on an international level again! Being a part of EUTOPIA gave me plenty of growth opportunity, from getting to know very talented fellow students from all over Europe, exchange ideas and learn how to work effectively in a diverse team. I believe that universities are much more than just lectures and exams, they’re hubs of personal growth and connections, and this is the spirit I’m excited to bring to this year as VUB’s SCA!
