I have done bachelor's in chemical engineering at University of Debrecen in Hungary and spent six years there while studying on a scholarship and working. I have always been fascinated by different cultures and the opportunity to study abroad. Currently, I am enrolled in the Master's Degree Programme in Exact Sciences, in the track Chemistry of Drug Development at UTU.
The inspiration behind my decision to study at UTU stems from its excellent reputation in the field of Exact Sciences. The university's commitment to providing a multicultural and inclusive learning environment was a major factor in my choice. I believe that studying at UTU will equip me with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in the global Pharmaceutical Industry.
One of the best things about university studies, particularly at UTU, is the opportunity to interact with students from diverse backgrounds. This multicultural environment fosters a rich exchange of ideas and perspectives, which enhances the learning experience. It is truly inspiring to collaborate with individuals who bring unique insights to the table.
Outside of my academic pursuits, I have a passion for football, cricket, travelling and exploring new places. Turku, with its picturesque landscapes and historical charm, has quickly become one of my favorite places. The Aura River, flowing through the heart of the city, offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere that I find incredibly captivating.
As for my future career plans, I aspire to work in the field of Drug development, Chemistry and pharmaceutical industry. I am particularly interested in exploring opportunities that promote sustainable and socially responsible work in my field.

Additionally, I had some fears before arriving in Turku, such as adapting to a new culture and making new friends. However, the warm and welcoming community at UTU quickly alleviated these concerns, and I have been able to embrace the experience wholeheartedly.
In conclusion, being a University of Turku ambassador is an honor for me. I am grateful for the opportunity to represent this esteemed institution and share my experiences with prospective students.
