Meet Paula Estepa Pérez, a current master's student at the University of Turku and an UTUambassador 2024-2025!
"Hi! I’m Paula, and I’m currently studying for my Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Smart Systems. I’m from Spain, where I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. After working for two years as an Application Engineer, I fell in love with programming, and I knew I wanted to combine my knowledge as a mechanical engineer with intelligent systems. This university gives me the flexibility to choose my own path, and that’s what brought me to the University of Turku.
Turku has started a new chapter in my life. The combination of nature and city makes living here fantastic. This allows me to explore all the nearby trails but also enjoy cozy cafes or events in the city. During my free time, you’ll find me cooking, playing board games with friends, or watching all kinds of videos about technology.
Now, I’m excited to begin my academic journey at the University of Turku and make the most of my time here while building lasting connections. The atmosphere at the university is very friendly, the professors and staff have always been happy to help with anything, and I’ve found many events to meet new people.
Before coming to Finland, I remember feeling full of questions and worries, so feel free to reach out to me!"
