Meet Rukmini Sanabria, a master’s student at the University of Turku and an UTU Ambassador for 2024-2025!
"Hi! I'm Rukmini, a 1st year master's student in the Education and Learning Programme. I'm originally from Peru, where I got my bachelor's degree in Primary Education, but I've had the opportunity to live in many countries such as India, Spain and Austria. My international teaching experience boosted my passion for multicultural education, my main research focus.
While I enjoy teaching, I am interested in working for an international organization that advocates for inclusive education. During my bachelor's studies, I heard about the outstanding Finnish educational system, which is why I decided to explore master's programmes in Finland. Among the various international programmes, EdLearn stood out to me because of its flexibility in allowing students to explore and build their own career paths, as well as its strong dual-focus foundation in education.
What I love most about studying at UTU is the wide range of activities, spaces and services the university offers to support our well-being. I particularly found the career guidance and the psychological appointments really useful to manage my adaptation. I also enjoy the CampusSport's classes. I found them entertaining and helpful to face the harsh winter! And as a Latina, I’m a big fan of the Zumba classes!"
